Delayed Buying Power Calculations with OptionsHouse – Scam?

I don’t know if this is just me being impatient or OptionsHouse just does not have their crap together. I canceled an order today for around 10,000 shares of a hot stock because I believe it was getting the time for a pullback in the market for it.

My 5000$ have been stock with whatever! Why are they not showing up for me to place more orders. I cannot even place orders now with them, so I have to turn to my Zecco account which turns out to be awesome. Only thing is that with Zecco I end up spending slightly more.

With experience in dealing with OptionsHouse, I have come to the conclusion that they have a LONG way to go. However due to their extremely low rate, keeping an account with them is still worth it. Just throw in few thousand dollars in it and use it for long term investing needs. Because that way you are not desperate to execute an order and not have to depend upon OptionsHouse system at the last moment.

Btw did I mention OptionsHouse does NOT work on safari, thats told school my friend. Get your act together and let it run on major browers at least.
