OT: Your comments about missed trades brought back memories of my worst experience by far - a Monday in October 1987 where I placed a series of market priced trades prior to the market open which never executed. For those who recall that day, it was impossible to get a trade confirmation all day long until well after the market closed. All the phone lines were busy. When I finally got through that evening, I was told "sorry, plenty of trades never got executed today." I estimate the craziness of that day cost me about $25K. That was painful. AdvocateDevil
