    Decimal price with IB

    TWS allows you to price your order in multiples of minimal price increments, which are decided by the exchange and vary between various instruments. You cannot submit a SPY order priced at 125.001 to IB, because we would be not able to send it to an exchange with that price; the min incr for...

    IB TWS sucks for Options trading

    We don't mind professional option traders competing with TH for two reasons: (i) they are going to trade options and compete one way or another; we would rather have them do so through IB, so that we can at least earn a commission (ii) the brokerage is our growth business; that is where we...

    IB Margin Changes

    TH does not have the edge and does not seek to have the edge you describe. The option auto-liquidation orders are sent to the exchange with the best price. If TH was on the actionable side of the NBBO BEFORE IB sent the liquidation order there, it may get a portion of the fill. If TH was not...
