<<<Are you just referring to entering a safely out of the money limit order before the trading day, then a new order nearer the market when you want to execute?>>> Yes, I put in an order to short CCSI Friday at 6 when the common was trading at 5 1/4, had I decided to execute it, I would have done so on the phone. Datek made CCSI no margin because it closed below 5, and it didn't matter to the server that it was 5 7/16 x 1/2 at the time. I missed a nice trade because of that. Barb
