Did you get scammed on a market order again Dealer? If you did, don't look for any discount broker to fix it for you every time it happens IMO. They can't afford to do that & they won't go after the MM's either. It's easier to stick it to you & give you every excuse under the sun. Since you can't prove your market order was handled out of order, etc., you are basically screwed, again IMO. ....IOW.... been there.... done that. As for discount brokers, I use Waterhouse. They are not much different than Brown with the problems you are having. Heck, they've let MM's trade around limit orders in stocks they make a market in, like NTAP & QLGC. If I hadn't been watching it live, they would have let their MM's get away with it & let me tell you, they still tried to stick me. I've looked around at other discount brokers just to move my money out of Waterhouse. So far I haven't found any discount broker that frequent traders have had few problems with. BTW, I am considering Ameritrade myself. They seem to not have as many folks grumble about them, but that is only from my anecdotal searching SI & I-Hub & Google.
