TraderAlan, I'm currently with Watley and had an unpleasant experience with ISLD a while back: I placed my Island sell between the spread, and subsequently, (it was a fast moving market--IPO day for EBAY) the bid moved up higher than my offer, cancelling my order, (after I had gotten filled for 11 shares, thankyou). Then the stock turned around again and ran away from me and I never did get to sell my shares, ('til it got to the bottom). My question is: Do all brokers have the same deal with Island--that your order gets cancelled if someone locks or crosses the market on you? It seems to me that I've seen Island quotes stay live in a locked market. That particular instance cost me a lot, so I'd really like to know the answer to that one. Thanks, wily
