No, that has not been my experience. I've had over 200 orders in a single basket without issue. Though typically it is more in the range of a couple of dozen.
I used to get a message that the data for only 100 symbols would be displayed. But, I think I disabled that notification (don't recall). In any event, I no longer get that notification. The biggest problem I had was when they made the currency field mandatory without telling anyone. Suddenly none of my baskets would work. Customer support had no clue. I had to figure it out for myself and send them the answer! Mike --- In [email protected], jim fenster <normanj...@...> wrote: > > Ya I could do that.
