You should file a dispute re "they do not honor my market order".

>>at the bid 2 minutes before the market closed<< Happened to me in a fast market.

re << I am in the same boat as you but I use ETrade and I pretty
much went through this same crap>>

I am curious, did anybody have a reasonable experience with an electronic broker on Monday.

I use Datek for quotes and they were flat ass down for 3 hours.

Lombard was totally unreachable by phone or electronics after 9:25;
PBS couldn't be contaced at all phone or electronics until after 11;
and regal discount was impossible right after the open.

I did read one person used his "balanaces" screen to log on to schwab and could at least get quotes thereafter - other people who did not take this back door route could not get on

I have two telephone quote services which were also solid busy signals

what I want to know is WHO DID OKAY?

also why are s&p 500 down 13 1/4? here we go again!
