  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Had a trade go wrong and wonder if I should do 
  anything. I placed a limit buy&nbsp; for 138050 on the emini s&amp;p when the 
  market was at 138100 (to try to get a good fill) at 850:45 AM. Then cancelled 
  the order at 851:04 AM and got a cancel confirmation. I checked numerous times 
  for fills and it showed none for 10 minutes. Then they showed me as filled 
  when the market was trading 137450, about 10 minutes later. I then immediately 
  marketed out at 137250. I have never lost more than 2.5 pts on a trade, this 
  was minus 8. The 2 issues for me are a) I was given a cancel confirmation and 
  b) they did not report the fill for ten minutes. On top of that I usually 
  reverse off of the pivot line which was 1380, so I would of sold 2 at 1379, 
  meaning i would of lost 1.5 on one trade but been short at 1379 on a market 
  that went down to 1349. My broker said I should of known I was filled. Sould I 
  be upset about this, any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
