Apply for margin, or call them and place the order over the phone- insist that they fill it or you'll trade elsewhere. If they still don't fill the order, open a new account with another broker. This was the very reason I left AMTD when I was buying SNEN.OB (now on Nasdaq) a few years ago. I like Fidelity personally- never had these problems with them. AMTD and Scott Trade I hear, can be very unfriendly with these China microcaps.
