The fundamentals of investing do not change because you have access to trading online. While the mechanics of online trading are convenient and relatively easy, decisions about how to invest your money can be complex. You should exercise the same degree of care when trading online as you do with any other investment decision. Delays can be caused by heavy Internet traffic or high trade volume. The price you end up paying for a stock might be different than the price you saw on your computer if the trade is delayed.
Delays can occur during periods of high trade volume or heavy Internet traffic.
After you place your request, one of our registered representatives will review your order for accuracy and then enter an order into the system for processing. We have a procedure in place to process these requests as they come in. However, trades may be subject to delays that are beyond our control based on heavy trade volume or Internet traffic. You may want to consider placing a limit order if this is of concern to you. The type of order that is placed may impact the stock price on execution.
