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. Don't wait for e-mail confirmations! Just go to the daily activity page and check if your order executed. Missing or delayed e-mail confirms are normal with Datek. Daily activity page or Messages show the executions within seconds after the fact.
