    Why IB API echoes same order status multiple times?

    I get the same thing, on fill events. Two of them. Here's the problem: If I want to do something as-soon-as a fill arrives, which involves resetting an order status, I get screwed by the second fill event. So .. I now have an intermediate state "KIND_OF_FILLED", which indicates that I...

    IB - Futures order handling, loss of FIFO priority

    Certain algos will post in lit and dark venues at the same time. If they get done in the dark [where you are not], they will cancel on lit, but on some exchanges, still report on lit as a trade. Blame dark pools -- the land of anti-price discovery.

    Latency problem from Europe to USA

    Time at exchange ack, minus time sent. For IB this is (time when orderStatus = SUBMITTED) - (time at placeOrder). From Australia, I see 300ms to 900ms against the IB test market for ES. Pretty hard to arb anything at those latencies..
