I left my last market order to sell AOL short open from 15:56:39 to the close.

Do I sound like a broken record? No fill.

I am owed a fill. I know that Datek won't give it to me. (Unless AOL moves up - then I'm sure at that point they will relent, and probably tell me that I am obligated to make the trade that they "lost"...)

And, so, I won't press the point.

And, of course, now the damn thing just sits there "trying to cancel" after the close...

4:10 - still "trying to cancel". I do not want to short AOL at market on Monday morning. I wanted to short it at market TODAY.

4:15 - still "trying to cancel". Attempting to get through to 1-888-GO-DATEK. No luck so far.

Servers were on and off today. Most time were good but several times could not get filled or get orders presented. I caught two times with no fills no presentations. Cost me expensive.
