No. They don't. This is their reply: This is an non-guarantee option combo order which is not guaranteed to be executed proportionally to the required leg ratio although every effort is made to execute the order that way. As each option leg was routed to exchange separately, you may receive...

I can understand your problem, especially if it is a non-guaranteed combo order. In fact, IB will wait until the posted bid or offer to hit pass your limit price, not just meet your limit price. I have many encounters where the order just sitting there despite the bid/offer meet my limit...

I am looking for older versions of TWS too. However the link you provided got the following error: "Unfortunately, the page you are looking for is no longer available." Do you happen to have the new link?

Thank you.

I am new to this thread. Do you mind explaining what does Expectation means? I guess the .7(40) means 70% of gaining the credit of $40; 10% of 260 (Risk or Margin)? Why 10%? Delta 10? Last one .2(130), totally no clue.

Hi risknav, Thanks for your reply. I have got confirmation that the bad tick came from IB. But they are not going to do anything about it. Thanks for explaining the Special Quotation to me. I already got hit on March contract, details here...

ya, 'affect' might not be the right word. let me try again. If "Delta is a measure of the change in the options' price resulting from the change in the underlying stock price", so is the measure of the change in Intrinsic Value or Extrinsic Value?

Yes, I know Delta does not change the price. As I said "Delta is a measure of the change in the options' price resulting from the change in the underlying stock price". So, the underlying stock price change, change the option price. Delta is the measure of the change. Just like Vega does...

I got confused with Option Delta. Hope someone can help. I got the following Vega definition at http://www.optiontradingpedia.com/options_vega.htm Options Vega - Introduction There are 2 main component to a stock option's price; Intrinsic Value and Extrinsic Value. The price of the...

Anyone trading KOSPI 200 (K200) or Nikkei 225 (N225) Index Options? I am currently using Interactive Brokers (IB) to trade these two Index Options. I am rather unsatisfied with IB due to the unreliable platform and combo order execution issue for these two options. Any other brokers to...
