We all know how frustrating it is because we all have similar problems - That 34k at 1.34 seems to have hung aroung a whil - It is 4 orders so they may be real and not the top of the box - Volume is way too low to really move one way or another. I am basically sitting at where I bought em - I think we will see some akshun this afternnoon - I hope it is buying action

I hear ya gypsy! I use Investorline and they tend to be fairly slow too. Although they tend to fill orders in 3-5 minutes most of the time. I have never had a fill more than 10 minutes after it was placed (even when I place it just as the market is opening, which must be one of the busiest times) It can be annoying though with fast movers. If I had 2 lines (I have to tie up my only phone line to be online) I would probably use telephone trading (the automated system - not a live trader) to enter my trades. It gives the same low commission as online trading through Investorline. I figure that way I could get the order in faster, and THEN I could go on hold to get through to a trader and use them to confirm my trade (and/or fill) 5 minutes after I place the order (assuming 5 minutes on hold). But then again, I have never tried electronic telephone trading, so it might be as slow to fill an order as using the internet? (but at least it is an alternative when the websites go down!!) Chad

GYP; I had a similar problem with ETrade.Put in a market order for BII last wed and it took 1hour and 17 minutes.Meanwhile BII went from 6 to 7.20 (which i was filled at).I complained and was reimbursed the difference which was almost $2,000.I was impressed that they recognized it was there fault and rectified it within 24 hours.
