I've had the same options issues with Schwab (trying to buy at the ask), and called my team immediately. I was always given the asked price, eventually. In once case, I bid for 5 contracts at the ask, and watched it sit there for 10 minutes. Then the option took off and went up about 3 points. I called my team, and they filled me at the ask I had bid. My advice is to get on the phone ASAP. . .

You can get this info at their website--www.brownco.com. They want you to have experience and you must have $15K initial deposit. A typical 10 lot trade is 25 or 32 dollars. Limit orders on stock are $10. It is a bare bones system, and it has gone down on occasion, but nowhere near as often as Schwab. They aren't interested in explaining a lot on the phone, but have always been readily available for problems. This weeks Barron's has a review of a number of on-line brokers.
