Before I spend an hour on hold with IB to answer this simple question, figured I would ask on here. Seems like there's no way to choose from direct or SMART routing with IB's mobile app - they only allow SMART routing. I can't even customize the SMART routing like I can on the desktop version...

Can you confirm whether it's possible to get a rebate for a 2-legged option spread order if submitted to an exchange with a rebate? And, if so, is it possible to select a SMART route option to maximize rebates or would it require a direct order to an exchange which provides such a rebate? I also...

Thanks. I don't use volume information because the ETFs are derivatives of futures (hence don't think ETF volume information drives future pricing). All I care about is getting the fastest bid/ask updates possible so that I can properly input limit orders into the DOM.

Hi all, My current broker is IB and I've been reading about how their data speeds aren't the greatest (bursty, filtered non-tick data updating once every 250ms rather than true tick data), but I can't determine if this is important for ETF scalping or only for futures scalping given that the...

Ok. Available after 4 pm EST?

Thanks, but I'm confused about the technical differences. I'd like to use an account at IB with LVX, but don't understand if that's compatible with using LS in any capacity as to receive complimentary access to LVX. If there is no way to obtain complimentary access to LVX while having an IB...

That's fine. Any idea on pricing for LVX?

Thanks, I noticed that, but what are the differences between Live Vol Pro and LVX?

Thanks for this. I have an account with IB and don't want to switch accounts at this time. Is it still possible to use LVX?

Looks like Sterling Trading bought Live Vol X and rebranded it as Sterling Vol Trader. See https://www.sterlingtradingtech.com/sterling-voltrader/ Anyone use it? What are the fees like? All I do is manage my portfolio option greeks, analyze IVs/skews and look at option order flow so this seems...
