"Please Note: Waterhouse will attempt to cancel your open or partially filled order on a best efforts basis. Waterhouse has a responsibility to execute your order as promptly as possible following receipt. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that your order will be canceled before it is partially or fully executed. To avoid the possibility of duplicate executions when canceling an order and reentering a new order on the same issue, please use the "Change Order" feature or contact your account officer to confirm your cancellation." I think their disclaimer, that is printed on the page where you confirm your request to cancel, covers them. I always call to make sure I'm out when I cancel an order. They really do have a lot of work to do on their web trading service. Barb

Go ahead and rattle a bit, Dave. Do the rest of us a favor. It's idiotic that they can't display cancels more quickly. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my two month old Waterhouse account - more or less everything that Schwab offers at 1/3 the price. Peter
