What price were you filled at? And was your order for less than 100 shares?

I think we should have a downtick rule. Buying should only be allowed on a downtick.

NASDAQ has a "DAY" order type which will participate in the opening cross and, if not filled in the opening cross, will become a DAY limit order on the NASDAQ book. This is probably what you sent, and what is probably confusing you is that in Laser's Pending orders window this order type shows...

What platform are you on, and how exactly (step-by-step) did you submit the order?

Consider the following. You have 80+ long positions and are short an equivalent in GOOG shares. Then: 1. Market tanks but GOOG suddenly announces great company-specific news. GOOG stock goes up 10%, thus you lose 10% on your short GOOG hedge, while your long positions fall 10% with the rest...

Yes, i agree with you that they are the cheapest place in the industry, but it doesnt change the fact that there is room for improvement on the above points. Thats why i said "i would still recommend it, especially if cost, reliability and speed are more important for you than stop orders and...

My experience has been that Laser is a very good platform, but still suffers from poor stop order execution quality and poor customer support, and these have been problems for a while now. In spite of these weaknesses, i would still recommend it, especially if cost, reliability and speed are...

Thanks.. to me that just means that your commodity futures positions do not get factored into the portfolio margin calculation, but it doesnt mean you cant trade futures in the same account that has been assigned Portfolio Margin status. Can anyone with a PM account confirm?

What if the press release had turned out to be true... i guess in that case the people who sold for a loss would be against trade breaks and people who bought in would be wanting trade breaks... maybe thats why they let the trades stand regardless of whether the press release was true or false...

How does the NASDAQ determine whether to cancel trades in such a situation. Are there any objective criteria for making that decision? It does seem consistent with a similar ruling NASDAQ made in 2000 when a bogus press release sent Emulex stock crashing and the NASDAQ decided that all...

"NASDAQ has reviewed the transactions under rule 11890 (b) on its own motion filing involving the security UAL Corp executed between 10:55:00 and 11:08:00 ET today and has determined that all trades will stand. This decision cannot be appealed. NASDAQ MarketWatch has coordinated this decision...

For anyone who has used both Google historical data and Yahoo historical data, how do they compare in terms of accuracy and completeness?
