I have gotten similar responses to some of my Investorline queries as well but the reply regarding stops doesn't make a lot of sense.

Re: InvestorLine order type selection... as of just this morning, the default order is no longer "Buy". It says "Select", and you have to choose from Buy/Sell/Short. Kudos to InvestorLine for making this change...
