    IB switched to shares only for L2?

    Today is the first day I got the message and saw a change, Im on the beta version Build 985.0q, May 28, 2021 3:53:06 PM, I had a different issue with the stable version only showing the L1 data, none of the book depth.

    TWS Hotkeys/Buttons & Quantity of Shares

    I was searching for an answer to the same question as the OP and ran across this thread, and thought I would express the limitations I've found as well as the work arounds I personally use. I use Chart trader hotkeys. When I click the hotkey to buy I'm getting into a stock that's moving...
