Here is the question Feb. 4 ( one of the days Etrade was having problems with the site. ) I have a order to SELL SHORT (600) shares of Amazon @ 165 7/8 on a STOP @ 10.07(et) -- the order does not get filled until 11.12(et) approximately $2.00 away from the stop price in a average market.
It trades though 165 7/8 ( Once it touches 165 7/8 it becomes a Market order and it MUST be filled ( The question is how long do they have to fill you ?) I know if the stock keeps on moving down and keeps downticking they can fill at the low -- But once it trades up you can not get a worst fill than the lowest down tick(s) it make in that run.
So how long does a online brokerage have to fill your order ? and am I correct about the fill procedure about a Short Sale on a stop ?
