With DLJ you enter the stock you want to short, quantity and the price - limit or market. That's it. The executions have generally been very fast, particularly if they are specialist. Only one time I had a problem. Last week I entered a limit short on NETG which was moving fast. The price dropped below my limit and canceled my order -- or so I thought. It turns out DLJ got me a higher price than my limit and executed. Bonus of 1 1/2 points!
