sounds like BS to me. when you get some time, can you share a bit more detail as to why it happened and how it might be avoided in the future? (would it have helped to cancel the order instead of just letting it expire?) and who messed up the reporting? was it IB or SOES? TIA

xcr600 - Would you mind posting the dates/times this happened (trade date/time and email date/time) because I'm curious how I would have played this out myself. "Depending" on the variables, I may have sold the lot upon email notification of the decision then it would have balanced when they made the entry. Actually I like this stock (have traded numerous times and may add it to my IRA when it bottoms). There are not many stocks these days that have a price and 50 day ma above the 200 day ma. Thanks for posting this situation because we all need to be prepared for this type of event and how we will respond when it does happen. John.
