>> Few takers on limit orders though, from either side of the fence. (:<) Does that mean you mainly got market orders filled? jz

You know, funny when Datek acts up, it really is ugly. Past week and a half I've got trade confirmations by the closing if not the end of the day. They have all been limit orders save one. All of a sudden I decided to do a market short order (I'm losing on that one but I think come Monday it'll be a whole other story) and confirmation is still waiting to be seen. Like I said before, I entered the order and got execution after about 5 minutes. (09:34:06 entered, 09:39:13 executed) It shows I've paid commision on that one and unless they send me a confirmation when the order started processing, I think it may be another glitch in the accounting system :P Overall, it's been okay but that's because I can't afford high commission and for my investment strategy Datek will do the job.
