I'm getting the impression E*Trade is a losing battle for any trader who wants fast action trading. In the last two days I've had trades go through in seconds and others take as long as 20 minutes (while a stock plummeted). I'm now moving up to Power E*Trade, and from reading the Power E*Trade thread I'm realizing it must not be all that much better. Does anyone know if trades are made directly to the trading floor with Power E*Trade. Or is my best shot to move on to MB Trading, Datek Online . . . HELP!

Get this one...I had an order cancelled on a Penny stock...everything was ok...the next AM at 9:20 I noticed an open order and a message, they reinstated my buy on a .05 stock at MARKET at the OPEN. Thank god I saw that in time to cancel AGAIN, imagine getting home and seeing you are down 50% on a stock you never thought you had...man, what a joke...
