Alan,

Regarding your remark "ISLD repeatedly rejecting my sell orders as crossed/locked for no apparent reason...", I occasionally have the same problem. It costs me significantly when it delays me getting out of a position, sometimes causing a substantial profit to turn into something altogether quite different.

Do you have any idea why this happens, what causes it? As you probably know, I use a different broker than you do, so I wonder if it's something beyond a problem with a specific broker or trading platform. You obviously know quite a lot. Would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Thanks,

Bill

<<SOES slippage worse since the July rule changes: if you sell a declining market, you're
selling the bottom of the swing you're in. (Anybody else notice how the NASDAQ top
coincided DIRECTLY with the rule changes?)>>

Alan-I've was away from SOES systems from April until last month. Could you please post the specifics of the rules changes you mention?
TIA
