reject as a data-entry error an order that has a Limit or Stop price filled in, but has MARKET selected Schwab does it this way, it takes FOREVER to get an order past their pathetically slow but very idiot-proof b.s. and is one of the reasons my account went to Datek. If you want your hand held, don't use orders7. If you want fast order entry, take the responsibility to review your order like the big, bold disclaimer says. Please don't cause Datek to dumb-down orders7. Many Datek customers like orders7 as is. Certainly I do. Since you have done this on more than one occasion, either do not use orders7 or resolve not to repeat your mistakes. Repeating the same inputs and expecting different outputs does not suggest that the system is to blame. Nothing personal intended, just a strongly held opinion on my part. Best wishes for your trading success.
