Ted, your experience seems very typical, and mirrors mine lately. After the first 10-20 minutes, fills have been lightning fast. But, buyer beware at the market open.

Also, I have gotten some great fills on NYSE stocks, specifically CA. Limit buys at the bid have been filled twice, even when the bid/ask size was something like 100x20. And the stock did not downtick soon after either.

I'm delighted to hear that Datek seems to be executing
for you as they used to do. They were never worth
beans at the open, but in the day lightening fast.

Lately there have been many reports on this thread
of extremely slow executions, even at the market.
I'm hoping your experience means this is being fixed.
