Based on some of the situations brought to light here by others, I would not advise doing what you did. If there are any anomalies with your order, ALWAYS check the Daily Activity or History screens to make sure that something unexpected hasn't happened. In my case, the orders that didn't go through were clearly marked "Not Placed". But I think I remember someone saying that even then, DATEK faked them out and the order had gone through. That's why I took a screen shot to document it. Some investors have bought or sold twice as much as they intended because they were misled (or so they claimed).
