gil, a stock is trading at $30. I put a limit in at $28. I see it hit that and stay above for 20 minutes. Is $26 a reasonable price to get a limit fills? How about a limit at 18-1/2 and get it filled at 16-1/8? And these aren't DELLS I'm trading. How about an order I have a confirmed cancelation on Friday, and then they go and tell me on monday morning that the order was filled? I was lucky. The stock opened 12 points higher, and I got the sell at 7 points above. I'm not harping on them for the limits fallen through, apparently others have a more scary story. That I attribute to the MMs manipulating the markets. BUT THE SITE IS CONSISTANTLY DOWN. This is unexcusable. That is where I was figuring my losses from. plain and . I can't make a timely trade.period! BTW, I faired better on my market orders than I did on my limits. All market sells yesterday went through higher than when places them.
