Thanks again Sean, for your advice. I was thinking of making a slow switch like Leslie’s plan. This lights a fire under my feet to actually do it. And, yes, the trade was finally executed a mere 90 minutes after the order was placed.

It is a good warning. I was with Options House before I even found out about your advice …. and well, I just stayed with it.

Thanks for your advice Sean. I was warning other members who use ETrade of possible problems. And when I call ETrade this morning, the call just hangs up after two seconds. Very strange.
Like some other members, I was with Options House long before ETrade bought them, and as others have noted, ETrade’s method of switching to another brokerage reads as if it is onerous. ETrade had a similar issue with their “mainframe” last December. It might be time to switch to Ameritrade.

ETrade seems to be having technical problems today. I missed the sell alert for PPLT until after the market closed Friday, so I put in an order to sell at market this morning. It still has not executed and the market has been open for over a half hour. The Down Detector website as over 2000 complaints this morning about the same issue with ETrade.
