I posted yesterday that there time on order entrys is off Execution times before enter times. They must have become psychic. Be careful these times are obviously incorrect and will be used against you. Not to gloat but I have posted these problems for quite awhile and have been attacked frequently in this forum. Where are all the Datek fans now? When i lost thousands on trades I was a whiner. At least I seem to be in the majority now. Many of you, if not all have felt the sting of losing money because of incompetance. Keep posting and help keep others from making our mistakes. Datek comments are all over the internet, not just this forum. Datek reps calling customers liars, hanging up on them etc. In retrospect when some clown comes to a public forum and brags about silly fast servers when his brainchild of a system is the joke of the internet,maybe that was the clue to run. Not the comment you would expect from a pro even if it was true. More likely the comment of a very immature child. Good luck
