You sure do sound awful defensive.

The alerts are very slow this morning. I put in a stop order to sell at 118, stock went to 118 1/4 by 118 3/8 so I assumed I was out.

instead of waiting for the alert I kept checking trading history and open orders, by the absence of an open order I know it was executed but the alert came along 5 minutes later.

It is aggravating to set in limbo and wonder because the price dropped to 103 while I was waiting to see if I got out at 118. It was actually filled at 118 3/16.
