ASB Trading System

[Cricketfan]

Anyone know what the red exclamation mark on the left side of a stock in the automated portfolio means? I called ASB and asked them a while back and the lady didn't know - went and asked someone and came back and said it probably means there's an announcement but that can't be correct as I've got marks with no announcement. My guess is it's something to do with a percentage change in the stock but not sure what.

In the web page source, that exclamation mark is called "new-trades-icon" , if that helps...

Recently i made a buy order on some shares and it was only partialy fulled. The next day the price increased to a price i didn't want to pay and i decided i wanted to put the funds into a different company so i amended the order to a low price that it's not going to go to for just 1 share. So that if i decided to buy this company in the next week or so i wouldn't have to make another order and incur the $30 trade fee.

Does this work? Or am i charged $30 everytime i amend the order? If an order buys through two trades is it still 1 fee?

Wolf - just one fee.

Wolf - just one fee.

Cheers CJ, noticed someone had a sell order on FBU for $150 guessing they are doing the same or maybe just made an error.

Looking for feedback on recent experience with ASB Sec. Sold a security for $30k . Partially sold on 25 March(settlement date 28th) with remainder sold 27th March(settlement 1 April). No funds in my CMA as of this morning so contacted ASB and after approx. 1hr got back to me to report funds now in CMA. I won't go into details of my ensuing discussion needless to say not impressed as I needed the funds to complete another transaction. Anyone else ever stuck this issue b4.

Yes, I have had a few of those, but it only impacts if you want to take the funds out of your CMA. If you want to trade again, you can actually do it as soon as you sold the shares, i.e. 3 days before settlement. That is standard for on-line as far as I know.

The excuse I got was the automated transaction failed.....really? so where is the manual back-up?

In the event you had a buy to settle the same day from those proceeds, I bet manual intervention would miraculously appear
