What events can cause delays in Internet trading?
High volumes of trading can cause delays in execution and execution at prices significantly away from the market price quoted at the time the order was entered. Besides, high Internet traffic, limitations on system capacity can also make it difficult for you to access your account and place electronic orders. In such cases, it is critical that you do not fiddle with buttons on the keyboard or command keys on the screen, as this may cause errors or even more delays in transmitting your message. Moreover, you should not simply place duplicate order, as you may easily end up either buying twice as much stock as you would want, or selling stock that you do not own.
