Hi, Paul.

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

For technical reasons it was not possible to reverse those by the time
you brought it to my attention, so you'll receive new c/ns with the
amount amended by hand, and the $ will be fixed by accounting system
journal entries.

Regards, fIM.
