Don't ever re-enter an order unless you receive a confirmation that your previous order has been canceled.

Hi there. This is quite interesting to read. I was running into similar problems with Webstreet the last couples of weeks. I placed an order to sell half of my position of a stock. I got an error message saýing the system couldn't receive my order and that I should try it again. I did and the same message appeared. I tried it a third time and the order went through. THe next day I had to find out that I sold 3/2 of my stock, meaning more than I had. Further I had loads of troubles with incorrect balances and loads of troubles to convince the very unfriendly cs. SOmetimes I even had about 10% less money than it should have in my cash account! Through best ratings with gomez advisors I was just sending my account application to e-trade. May be every day trade interested should have 2 accounts with different brokers. PZ, Germany
