Bill, with lousy filled trades, does Datek offer any type of compensation to you? I typically get free trades for lousy fills (more than 1 minute) if the price changes. The most I've got was 10. Datek cost me 1/4 point on a 400 share trade.

The vast majority of my trades are near instantaneous, 1-10 seconds, with the majority less than 5. But probably once or twice a week I do get the slowwwwww order which takes 3-5 minutes. If the price moves away, I call and get compensated (free trades). They are generally very fair. Most of my orders are market orders, so there can be little to dispute from their end.

Mr. Dryer when people expect a service and they don't receive it, and lose thousands of dollars in the meantime they then become the unreasonable minority. Your right Datek has promised many things options,checking, servers that work, and have delivered 0. Mr. Dryer are you a customer of Datek? I have never noticed a post by you on this thread. IS THERE SOME OTHER AGENDA HERE?
Bill, could you elaborate further regarding what other agenda may be operating here.
