Druss, Marconi Funny things happen at Datek's. The classic Datek allows me shorting FIBR whereas the Express does not. FIBR (Osicom) is NM flagged, so also the margin usage is different between orders7 and orders2. Try it out, till now that is the case. For some reason the slow execution allowed me to sell a long position "twice" as i got an order in when the original sale was gone but the position was not updated. Note that this "worked" on a penny stock when trading in the languishing first half hour. How's about that? C.

I see there are a few Datek users here. You guys should take a look at a shareware prog that I wrote (originally specifically for Datek - now it works with quite a few other sources) to track portfolios and do intraday charting with the real time quotes from that source. It's at medved.net The SI thread is at Subject 22551 Hope you find it useful.
