FWIW..I looked hard and long for the "Best Options Data Provider", In my opinion it is AT Financial (now a division of ILX). http://internet.atfi.com/ their data and timeliness are as good as I could find in 2 years of looking. One caveat, they do not have a composite quote but are supposed...

yk- regards option fills: I have been trading options (primarily OEX) with IB for over a year. In my experience IB does a very good job but the exchange(CBOE) has become worse and worse. The "new" 15 second delay rules and frequently shutting down auto execution usually mean that you will not...

IB seems to have discontinued weekend access. I have not been able to log in over the past several weekends. This is an inconvenience since I like to do set up work as well.

Regarding your last paragraph "....it turned blue and lines raced across my watch lists and it disappeared;the whole page,platform, poof! Does IB time you out if you don't make trades often enough? ...." Having used the IB platform for over 1 year the "lines, etc" will appear if you have lost...
