NW: All I can tell you is that I entered an order to buy 1 ESZ at 9:55
AM, EST, at 854.00 and I was filled. I then entered an order to sell 1
ESZ at approximately 10:40 AM EST at 890.00 and I was filled on that
order. The reporting was unusually slow, taking  about 20-30 minutes  to
get a report.  

Fillingly,

Norman
