Don't tell anybody about Web St? I certainly will... 48 hours! Not the movie. This is how long Web Street claims they can take to confirm a fill! You may be a satisfied customer now. I too was very happy with them, and, like yourself, did many trades without problems. But, please answer this. How happy are you going to be when you get a fill notification on Monday afternoon for a trade you entered (which was filled immediately) on Friday morning? And how happy are you going to be when you call for a correction on that improper fill and they ignore you? How will you feel when stock you own goes way below your stop hours before you know you own it? Think about it. Think about thousands of your dollars disappearing, and then Web Street tells you it's "acceptable practice in the industry" to notify you up to 48 hours later. I actually have this utter nonsense in writing from them, if you'd care to see it for yourself. Believe me, I know exactly how happy you will be then. Consider yourself warned: these guys are not on the level.
