FM> The story with the wrong brokerage, FYI, is as follows. You had a sell
FM> order in at 13, and one at 15 for 30000. The former was in the system at
FM> the brokerage rate, the second at the minimum $ amount. While the system
FM> has provision to record the limit price of orders, it's not normally
FM> done at our place - there's no real need for that info to be entered.
FM> The bookings clerk put the first part trade against the first order he
FM> found, which happened to be the 15 one. So that was charged at
FM> qty / 30000 * $75. The next day he booked the first part to the balance
FM> of that order (same calc), and the rest to the correct order - at the
FM> rate you normally pay.

I'm not sure I understand that.  But now that you know there's a problem,
do you have a fix for it for the future?  Also, like OS/2 bugs, WHY ME?  Am
I making more than 50% of the trades at your place or what?  BFN.  Paul.
