Can't blame you for being perturbed over this, but could you clarify something? What is this SELL ALL you are referring to? I went back to my account and made a mock sell order thinking that maybe this feature was always there and I overlooked it. I still don't have this. All I have is a "all or none" sell feature which I'm sure you weren't referring to or were you? Just curious.

Hardline, There is no SELL ALL on my E-Trade order screen, what screen are you referring to? Everybody, including you, knows it is not possible to cancel a market order, so I'm not sure what your complaint is with E-Trade. You put in a market order, and it was executed quickly. You got the market price at the time. If you wanted a certain price, you should use limit orders. I don't use E-Trade much, but I have never had a problem accessing them for trades, so I can't comment on your other problems, other than to say they are not universal. Dennis

I find your story hard to believe. There is no "sell all" feature that you mention on the ETRADE site. I also find it hard to believe that an ETRADE rep would tell you you could cancel a market order. I find it harder to believe that you would believe someone who told you that. My market orders go through in about 30 seconds with E*TRADE. I have been using them for 4 accounts and have never had a problem over the last 2 years. I really hope you're not making this up.

Good for you on leaving ETrade. Many of us over the years have done the same. My question is, if they cannot even provide a decent core product(stock trading over the internet, with which they had a huge lead on most other internet brokerages and blew it), what are they doing going into all this other ELoan & other business crap? They are just going to blow it in other areas also. Short EGRP & holding down to 15 or so, for these reasons & others.
