Thanks for your reply, but, unfortunately, not self-explanatory and I don't have TWS installed to give it a try. I'm simply thinking of using it and the feature I'm referring to is very important to me in a multi-monitor environment. How many monitors are being used to display the layout in...

Does TWS allow you to detach a window within it (for example, a chart window) and move just that window to another monitor? Or, instead, do you have to expand the entire TWS application window onto another monitor to get whatever window within the application you want onto another monitor...

OK. Un-checking "Allow this order to be triggered or filled outside regular trading hours" made it possible to transmit a Relative Order to Island with a peg on it. Thank you for the suggestion. With that said, this absolutely should not be necessary, as what ought to determine an order's...

My experience is this: when I direct a Relative Buy or Sell Order with any offset to Island during Regular Trading Hours, I get a message from IB telling me that Relative Orders are only accepted by Island during Regular Trading Hours, which, of course, is exactly when I'm placing them...

If what you're saying about these orders here on Elite Trader is accurate, there ain't no "if" about it. Still awaiting your response to my reply to your private message...

If you're an IB customer, I would not rely on anything DAV from IB has posted here unless you can confirm it by information posted on IB's website. There are significant discrepancies between DAV's postings in this thread and information contained on IB's website. I brought this to the...

OK, how does IB's Pegged-to-Market work in connection with changes in Bids/Asks? Let's say that as a buyer you're pegged to the Ask - .01 and the Ask moves down. Does your buy order move down with the Ask or not? Similarly, let's say that as a seller you're pegged to the Bid + .02 and the Bid...

When you say the TWS versions of Mid-Point Peg and Market Peg are "native", do you mean that they rollback to the trader's benefit as the NASDAQ versions of these orders do? My impression is that IB's versions of these orders offer no rollbacks whatsoever; as an example, in the IB version of...

Could you please explain this? NASDAQ doesn't actually have a "native relative order". It has 3 types of pegged orders: 1) Primary Peg: pegs an order to the same side of the market (i.e., buys on bid, sells on offer) 2) Market Peg: pegs an order to the opposite side of the market (i.e...

Does anyone know of anyone other than Lightspeed Trading who offers NYSE and NASDAQ pegged orders in their native form (with full rollbacks to the trader's advantage when the market moves in his favor)? Many thanks for any referrals anyone may be able to offer.

How on Earth can this be true? NASDAQ/Island offers orders pegged to the same side, the opposite side, and the midpoint of the market, each of which can be modified by a positive or a negative offset. And THEY ALL ROLLBACK to the buyer's/seller's advantage. And ALL the monitoring and...

If they were designed to accommodate the needs of your clients generally, they would be used extensively. And while they wouldn't be the only way to trade, they would certainly be a very sensible way to trade, which unfortunately is not to the case given the way they're currently configured...

This is likely a question for the IB guys here, but maybe others know from experience. Can a Peg-to-Market order, available on orders directed to Island, which generally Buys on the Offer minus an offset and Sells on the Bid plus an offset be entered without an offset? Support materials are...

Actually, the big players doing algorithmic trading on a short-term basis do use them. The question is "Which do they use?"
