Sorry, Networm, I've got carpal tunnel from all the typing I've done in this thread. Suffice it to say, that I've lost faith in them, as their performance has steadily gone south. There are others who still swear by them. Not me. Only use them for some minor trading now. Confirmations, a laugh. What I do get, I get three weeks later. Same with e-mail confirmations. Rather than sour you on them, I'll let you see for yourself. For what they are, they are the best when they are running smoothly. And they may run perfectly for you for a long time. So keep an open mind. Perhaps your karma will dictate how they do for you. If you want more information, take a few hours and read thru this thread.<g> I'm sure there are others who's wrists can hold up longer than mine. Len

Networm, Of the several open orders I had today at the close, only one didn't auto-cancel. It was the only one for a listed stock. The other ones were for Nasdaq securities. I tried cancelling the order still open (which was a full point away from the closing price, so I wasn't that worried) and I got the dreaded 'Trying to cancel'. I checked recently and, like in your case, the trade was cancelled. This never had happened to me before, but most of my trades are on Nasdaq. Mike.
