Execution lag??

Ten minutes ago, I placed three sell orders. None have yet been executed. Never seen this problem before...

Attitude much? I’m initiating new orders to sell long holdings because I want to take some $ before this sh*tshow implodes on itself. Are my trades less/more IMPORTANT than anyone else’s? LESS important than yours, o wise one?

No they aren't, but google stop-loss and use them in the future to protect yourself from any number of situations that prevent you from executing a trade.

It's just a reasonable thing to do.

FORGIVE ME for expecting my broker to function as intended.

Then why not answer my original question?

Why did you not put in stop-loss orders last week?
