Lisa , saw you said you were getting quotes from Waterhouse. Have you traded with them also? How did they do if so? I just switched brokers and they are one of the ones I am trying. I put in a buy on some calls today for the first time with them when the bid was 3 3/8. I put my limit in for 3 1/2 making me the highest bid. The stock fluxed 1/4 point each way for the next 3 hours and my order was never filled even though at one point the ask was down to 3 5/8 for almost an hour. I know I should have taken the ask out then but I am trying to evaluate services and have used this strategy for a long time. I work full time and can't watch the market much. There were almost 100 contracts traded yet mine was never hit? I am wondering if I just wasn't giving the MMs enough scalp money. How has your luck been?
