Yes, we will provide limited t&s and q&s retrieval. This data comes from our charting database. The delivery of realtime quotes and sales to the TWS will not change to tick-by-tick.

Not at the beginning,

Yes. The first version will allow you to click on the bar in a chart and see the corresponding times&sales (or times&quotes if applicable).

If your chart is being by IB data, it will not be tick-by-tick. If you compared the two side-by-side, unless you really zoom in, your regular line and bar charts should look the same.

Sorry? I work for IB. What I post is from IB directly.

I stay away from posts full of question marks, exclamation marks, capital letters and derogatory adjectives/statements. I also tend to ignore posters who frequently bash IB.

cboe index manual handling: oex, spx, djx electronic broad based indexes/etfs: spy, qqqq, ndx, mnx, dia?, rut, roy, ixz (soon to be listed on ISE), oef, mid, msh (mostly tech, but w/ in tech it is broad)

If you do get around to do the timing accuracy test, please let me know the results. Thanks.

The market data is not tick-by tick. The dynamic refresh rate is 0-0.25 seconds. There are no plans to switch the core market data distribution to be tick-by-tick. We believe our approach is superior. (See the above nononsense comment).

It is much simpler to do it the other way around. I will find out tomorrow which other index options get the manual treatment. Anything else that we offer execution on is fully electronic. I will suggest a list of liquid broad-based index and etf options tomorrow.

That is for a reason. OEX options are singly listed by CBOE. We deliberately don't route your orders to the auto-ex system, because we believe that we can often obtain you a better fill by routing to the floor broker, where the order gets manual execution. Only a couple of more CBOE index...

You are posting very misleading information. Please do me a favor and PM me your IB account number and a couple of examples of such delayed fills (date, time, symbol, size, price) so that I can look them up. Thank you.

You imply that we knew that it does not work. What does not work?

I don't know how often you are away from your computer. If it is not often, then you could try using the web-trader. Would that be sufficient?

Could you please provide specifics as to what is not stable in this API Beta? Thank you.

We'll have a look at 847.8. Thank you for your kind words.

The rule we use is simplistic: we prompt the user to roll 8 days before the maturity date. This may not be appropriate for the materials futures.

There is no such feature. The only thing you can do is set up the spread and trade it.

The feature does not roll the future for you. It only ads the symbol of the next future month to your trading screen.
