Well, it seemed too good to be true! Yesterday I did quite a few trades,
each one was filled within 2 or 3 seconds. Great.

Until the moment came when I sold 1 emini (market). The price then was
about 98750. Didn't see a fill come back, so I called Globex to check on
it. "Well, we see your order here, but there's no fill. We don't know the
status. We'll call you back"

Some guy called back about 30 minutes later. He put me on hold for about 10
minutes, then asked if he could call me back again. I went out for the
evening, cell phone in hand. *Strangely enough* the return call never
materialized.

Anyway I came back and there was a fill sitting there, sold at 88100.
Evidently this market order wasn't filled for about 3 hours!!!

It's Ok, the broker says they'll make an adjustment.
