    overnight markets

    On the open of the MHI you can get wild swings. Asians are much more gamblers the Americans = much wilder markets IMO. I think there are less black boxes going on on the asian markets so the swings are more volatile. Good thing.

    Oanda Ripoff prices

    I dont think there is any cut off time. They post the best spread they can based on what they get themselves. In reality there is no such thing as fixed spread. They market it this way but it means most of the time. So you want to be happy most of the time.

    Question about IB TWS simulation account fills

For example if you bid 6.25 on a low liquidity stock 10@ 6.25 5@ 6.35, you most probably need to get hit. But if you Bid 75.57 on XOM and...
