No olga, I had a market order before the bell on V. It opened at 25.75 and I was filled at 23.45 15 minutes later. REal nice. Limit orders and market orders both seem to get screwed up. ARe you using TD? If so check out the "I hate TD webbroker thread" and let it out!!

Olga, I too use Investorline, but I think the problem is that they are late showing the trade, even though the trade might have gone already thru much earlier. From their sign-in page: IMPORTANT MESSAGE April 9, Friday We are currently experiencing delays with our Order Status function on the website and our automated telephone trading system. Order fills and approved orders may take up to approximately 30 minutes before they are reflected on Order Status. We are working to resolve this as soon as possible. Should you need to check on the status of your order immediately, please contact an InvestorLine Trading Representative. Cheers,Tony

Re: InvestorLine speed: I think market order are a little faster, but it really depends of the volume of the stock, the exchange, etc... For market order, I've seen 30 seconds to 10 minutes (the week after Christmas). For limits, it's more like a 1 minute to "too late, the exchange is closed". This morning, I placed a limit order at 9:27:00 (InvestorLine timestamp) on a mid volume Toronto stock and I saw it on depth before the open. I also made a market order on the same stock at 10:29:36 (the InvestorLine timestamp) and it was filled at 10:30:12 (the CSW timestamp), which is 36 seconds assuming both clocks are synchronized. But the confirmation for that order only came at around 11:25. You were probably filled during the minutes after you send your order but InvestorLine Order Status was down. Check your account tomorrow. Again, this is for a Toronto stock. It's slower for the VSE and the ASE. And I can't tell about the Net stocks cause every one using Nesbitt/InvestorLine seems to pick the same trade size as me, so I don't know which is mine on the CSW trade list. IJ
