Buy to Open 1 G Stop 9999 Gtc results in "You do not have this position".

Strange rejection message, is this normal? If the stop price is too high the message should be something like "Stop price should not be > xxx", no?

Also, Buy to Open 9999 GOOG Market results in the same unhelpful rejection message.

"You do not have this position."

Here there should be a risk system reject message to better inform the client. This will reduce customer service calls.

FYI short 9999 GOOG market returns the expected rejection message, so something is wrong with BUY orders. (Buy vs. BuyToCover issue?)

If this was on a real account, you would think that OEC would jump on this problem quicker, and find out what the problem is, and solve it.
