I am comparing open and close auction prices from the NYSE ARCA webpage directly with my fills. And it's all okay now:) It worked today. It was my fault, last time i accidentally left exchange on "SMART" on my OPG order. :banghead: And IB does who knows what if you do that...

Thanks for your help guys. I MIGHT have found the problem... It has to do with programming logic. So exchange was set to "SMART" in the end instead of "ARCA". :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: MOC is directed to ARCA automatically, but "MKT" + tif=OPG is not. That through me off and i...

So i have a daily strategy for some contracts on CME futures. I process data and come up with a forecast for a long or short position that projects returns from basically the stock market open (9:30 ET) to the close (16:00 ET). So i basically like to enter the position in the futures market at...

Thank you for the quick response. Will do that in the future. :thumbsup: I'm excited to dive in to the data like a mad data scientist :D

First let me say from the first glance this service looks like the most attractive and cost-effective historical+live data vendor for retail algorithmic traders, with a small caveat: When you are fine with only actively trading mostly a handful of symbols. With that in mind, it seems to beat...
