I agree. Thanks riskarb for your educational efforts. Good trading to all. :cool: C

There is no contest. When EVERYTHING is considered - Open API, Commissions, Markets, Trading Station, Options, Forex, TWS Improvements (yeah there are some growing pains), New Markets being added, etc, etc...the answer is simple: IB

I sometimes get stuck with odd lot fills on my limit orders (like I want 500 and I get 271). Some of these are twenty something dollar stocks too. Only thing I can figure, is some system guys are wanting exactly $3,000 or whatever and I get the leftovers. :(

They all seem like good honest people to me... I think this guy even used to post on ET: :D

Yeah I sent him $10,000 too. He's supposed to send me $100,000 just for helpin' him out... I figure I have a better chance there, than sending in option orders to the AMEX!!! :D :D :D

Play it again, Ben... Buy...Those...Dips!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :cool:

I just use Excel. You should be able to get an older version for free/cheap. Hard to beat IMHO for customizability and power. Tons of support too. Many people use it. Also, somebody posted recently (forget who) an example Excel spreadsheet that really nailed down about every aspect of...

Is your interest rate set to a proper number? Uninitialized values like that might mess up the calcs maybe?

OP's ID should be BFD.

edit: just reread your post and it seems that you are asking if TWS can override the specified exchange for API orders? I guess I don't know that. Never tried, but I would assume not. You can specify which exchange in your API orderline. Mine is hard-coded to Smart and I have had no...
