Good luck with the order entry bit. Even if you do the MMs can screw with your order, more than you think.

I have etrade and though my orders are "almost always" confirmed within a few seconds, there are occassions where they are not. Specifically, when placing an order when the market first opens and placing orders on BBs. I have never had any problems placing orders quickly until a couple weeks ago. I tried to sell out of ABOV at $43 7/8 and then again the next day at $42 1/2. Both times, the system was down and I was unable to sell it. You see where the stock went after that. Would have been nice to sell out at a profit and buy back at the cheap prices of earlier this week. Oh well, such is the trouble with online brokers .... now I wait NITE is the most EVIL of them all ... that's why they are making so much $$$$$. You've got be RUTHLESS in this business to make "the real cash" !!! >:o)
