I don't know how long it takes for my trades to appear on the Daily Activity page, as it takes 3 minutes for the page to refresh - maybe they are there right after execution, I have no way of knowing. On occasion, the order is not executed even though it's a market order, for 3 minutes and so shows up as not executed (happens rarely) - but maybe that's just a lack of an update, and it acutally did execute? I emphasize - I have no real problem with the executions themselves. Just the confirm page not refreshing for 3 minutes. I use express servers through the daSlinger interface. I conducted an experiment, just in case it was the fault of the interface (unlikely) - I have another computer with a separate high-speed modem, and I tried opening the confirm page simultaneously - no luck, takes at least 2-3 minutes, sometimes longer. BTW, my apologies to everyone about the length of these posts. I'm just rather frustrated, since I'm ready to love Datek, and it just doesn't love me back :) Morgan
