    Wonder why IB is showing markets as open and moving - on saturday noon.

    They've been replaying those bogus quotes on Saturday for weeks now, don't get your panties in a bunch. PS - Can anyone pull charts on US data, i.e. ES, SPY etc... all I get is "attempting to retrieve data"

    IB - Natural gas futures options (LNE)

    Just for comparison the European options traded 20,736 contracts yesterday on the DEC options expiration with OI of 395,662 versus 1,749/62,844 for the American options, that's almost 10x the volume...

    IB - Natural gas futures options (LNE)

    Can someone look into why IB customers can't trade the LNE (european style) natural gas options? They've been listed in TWS for years, you can pull them up and quote them by selecting NG->futures options->LNE, but if you try to place an order it comes back saying "can not compute volume for...

    IB Data Breakdowns during fast moving market news like OPEC Today

    Yes market depth was horrible on Wednesday, flashing, no depth, stale quotes. Totally useless, it was the entire NYMEX complex - CL,QM,RB,HO. It has happened occasionally in previous weeks too on any high volume price spike (around inventories, etc..) I thought the rationale behind IB's...

    Interactive Brokers Implements Price Caps

    Def, thanks for taking the time to respond. I worked in retail brokerage for the better part of a decade and fully understand the regulatory headaches, but the exchange bands for futures are really pretty conservative nowadays - they've been tightened considerably in the last few years. I trade...

    Interactive Brokers Implements Price Caps

    Let me also reiterate I have no issue with capping a market with no safeguards in place, perhaps spot FX qualifies. I fully understand why IB is doing this, there are regulatory reasons. But if an exchange already has volatility price banding in place, namely any major futures such as the...

    Interactive Brokers Implements Price Caps

    The caps most certainly still exist, they were in play during Brexit. To those saying their orders are outright rejected, those are generally exchange rejections. In the case of IB's more draconian caps, they will modify your limit order to the capped price, usually 2% from last trade and...

    Interactive Brokers Implements Price Caps

    Interactive Brokers Implements Price Caps

    This has been happening for years, I'm glad ZH picked it up, it's scandalous that a broker would modify prices on customer orders without their consent and then think a pop-up window absolves them of their fiduciary duty to execute. What really irks me is the price caps override the exchanges'...

    Suprised how thin MGC (mini gold) is

    IB - TWS Market Depth/Booktrader stuttering

    Here's an instance where CL depth froze and stuttered around 1pm Eastern on Fri, Aug 12. Can anyone familiar with TWS logs see if they have these types of events in their log? JX 13:00:14:361 JTS-usfutureDispatcher-90: ShortRowContainer.clear() called for BID: CL SEP'16 Futures JX 13:00:14:361...

    Schaefer's Journal of Nikkei 225 Mini.

    Anyone flipping N225 minis know why you can't get a preopening indication anymore through IB? It just shows a crossed market like 17670/15010 today, open was 16130. Started happening when OSE switched their systems about 3 weeks ago

    IB - TWS Market Depth/Booktrader stuttering

    I'm well aware IB is 100-200ms snapshot data, the recent problems I've been having involve stutters and pauses in data that can last 10-15 full seconds. I had no major problems up until 1 month ago. I'm tearing my hair out trying to diagnose this, I've duplicated it with 2 separate broadband...

    IB - TWS Market Depth/Booktrader stuttering

    Anyone else having stuttering problems on their DOM lately (particularly on CL and ES) when they get busy? Anytime CL or ES jump a few levels (i.e. inventory report) all my levels of market depth drop out for about 10-15 seconds until it catches back up, sometimes I'll see a burst of missing...

    Oil Rig Count and Predicting a Rebound

    Here's a blast from the past Mav: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/crude-super-contango-puts-more-oil-in-storage-signals-price-rise I completely agree the catalysts for $30 this time are vastly different from 2009, but if Cushing nears capacity it should ultimately manifest the same way in the...
