Good luck to you guys trading options with computers in these markets, I have to get in fights with people that I know. Can't image getting anywhere when you enter a trade into a computer. You really don't see how fast these markets are moving, but cnbc had a different dow than I did most of the day. I really suggest you guys find 1 real person to talk to a these firms spend the extra money you will make more.

Dwight, Yeah, when the "real time" quotes aren't exactly reflecting the real "real time" that a broker advertises and that you and I are expecting, it makes it kind of difficult. You would think that they might post a little warning when they are aware that their quote suppliers are having a little problem. Jerry NYCNPBBKR, I was using a limit sell, my problem was the real time quotes that were supplied were not accurate. When I entered my limit sell I foolishly thought I was being supplied accurate real time quotes but as it ended up the real time quotes were 10 - 15 minutes old. Hence, my problem. And when I called I was informed that my limit order "probably" went through or so it appeared based upon the not "real time" quotes when it had not because in actuality the bid was already past my limit.
