I currently have several SEC requests on ETrade after they failed to report several trades to be cancelled out of my account. In fact, all were intraday cancelled. The next day I wake up and find out one of my trades went through. Subsequently, I lost money because of this. They refuse to make good on the trade saying that "its the market makers", or "its market conditions" Has anyone seen cases where you see trades appearing in your account that you swear you never even placed? Has anyone seen cases where you put in a market order and 30 minutes later you got screwed? Has anyone seen cases where your confirmations are so delayed that its useless? (in my case a one day wait! and etrade brokers say "its acceptable") Has anyone frequently sat on the phone for over 45 minutes to get to an ETrade broker? Bottom line: ETrade SUCKS.
