TDameritrade posts phatom trades near end of trading session

Friday afternoon was to be a relaxing end to a great week of trading for me. It has been a long couple of months and and even longer 2 years since we started seeing the effects of the current credit meltdown. I had one stock to sell and then finish the day early to avoid the end of day crazies that have tended to be the norm on Fridays. I had noticed the stock I was trading had swung back up into the green and sat down to sell. I looked at my balance and had seen that my it was not showing a gain of 500 but rather a loss of 1700 plus. I thought I was seeing things and frantically refreshed my screen. It was a nightmare because my balance kept shrinking for apparently no reason. (continued on next post)
