if you are targeting active stocks, it's never going to work. IB routes everything with their SMART network and will do internal crossing before sending your shit elsewhere, hence the 1sec delay is the least of your problem. 1sec is still quite fast for a retail trading account, below 1sec...

LIMIT has always price, in your case, it's a BID/ASK play, you just limit the damages of the BID/ASK when you submit the order, hence why you can't control anything and always get hit at the worst. You should try the STOP LIMIT, maybe a better fit.

is that BTC? :p

so in summary, it's a MKT order with an upside limit on the market ASK, so you don't get completely destroyed on the ASK

right, says the clown who lives in his mum basement and will masturbate on his mum panties :)

I don't follow reddit or TikTok to buy hot stocks :)

ok I see but you still have bid/ask backward, bid/ask can't be 250.5/240.6, bid is always lower than ask, not sure why you don't get that very basic principle, if you confuse this, then maybe that's why you get hit with a worst price Obviously you didn't read the links or posts above when it...

just in case you missed it !!! "The bid price represents the maximum price that a buyer is willing to pay"

I think they were April 19 calls :p unless everything was fake!!!

I think the whole thing is very interesting and fascinating, and hopefully the SEC will see that advisors and professional traders are not always the bad guys :)

hello ??? you got everything in reverse, the BID is always smaller than the ASK, in your example, it's reversed. If you said BID+0.1 when the ASK was more than the BID+0.1 I could see your point, but here you have everything upside down, which explain why you keep getting the wrong price in...

you couldn't make that shit up, it's a fucking joke. Almost as bad as Cramer. But not as ugly :p

Ok you got it in reverse, hence why you always got hit with the worst price. If you are hitting the ASK+0.1 when you buy, then it's worst than MKT. Why would you do that? pay more than market? Bid means you are a bidding for a price, that is the buyer side, Ask means you are "asking" for a...

nice, thanks. "Contrasting with recent evidence that retail traders are informed, we find that Robinhood ownership changes are unrelated with future returns, suggesting that zero-commission investors behave as noise traders" "suggesting that zero-commission traders have direct negative effects...

so if you buy, you hit the bid - 0.01 for example and if you sell, you hit the ask +0.01 make sure you don't invert the sign for buy or sell, and 0.01 might be a bit too small IMO

does that IB offer such a trading option? never heard of it before,

saw that, apparently a crazy story https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2021/02/05/americas-most-manipulative-billionaire/?sh=4b00b14256ec

LOL, god, how did you guys survived so long without being arrested for fraud :)

you might be right, but one of the screenshots he had, had the detailed eTrade trade line for the options, and I think someone here checked if those lines were legit and he thought they were against trades he saw on the day they were made. Like you said, only the actual custodian accounts will...
