Wasn't a typing issue, Fred. First the columns on the "Working" orders screen was re-organized....seems if you "click" on a column it re-orders your tickets. I did not know this so I could not "find" the order to CXL it. Second, when trying to place a Stop, the "other end" would not accept. A real pleasure for me, as I had just lost over a G-Note on each contract less than an hour before. Trying trading calmly when you cannot transmit an order to protect an Open Position. Then, already completely disorganized I decided to get out while I had the chance, Forget riding it higher only to find the thing still did not work.. So, guess what? It still did not work. I settled for a Fill at 1287.50 and picked up 350 points but it's been quite an experience. But no, my typing had nothing to do with it. I made that mistake only once. But I still say, if I could have been Filled Selling the SP9M at 1988.40 I would be a very happy fellow today.
