I was with OptionsXpress before Schwab took over and have been requesting Schwab to change the order entry to load more than just 6 digits, every time I call in. If all Schwab account holders would submit a request every time calling in they may look into changing to 7-8 digits.

I use 877-681-7761 to call Schwab and tend to get representatives that were brought over from OX and they understand better us sub-penny investors needs and keep saying the request has been submitted and may be considered in the future. Note: But all the older Schwab representatives just say it will not be changed

It seems like just a simple computer program change that should not be difficult to do, so keep requesting/complaining (The squeaky wheel usually get the grease)
