hmm, with the numerous mistakes in your posts you can see how noone is posting satisfactory answers to your question. In fact, I'm still unsure as to what you want to know. and with respect to MohdSalleh's post, if you want to sell the bid or buy the offer, it's called hitting the bid and...

I know this is where I am having trouble understanding what you're saying. In the link that you posted, it correctly explained that bid whacking was selling at a price that lowers the bid. It doesnt matter if it's a market or limit order. If there are 100 shares in the highest bid and you send a...

he's getting confused between buy and sell?! That's not a good start

this used to work a lot a few years back. You'd get A quoting say 45/46 and B at 47/48 so you'd buy 46 on A and sell 47 on B. Net across both you're flat. Depending on your account and order size you can choose to just leave it at that for a while or square up your position when an opportunity...

what ... the same investors who bought into the structured products market? surely you jest

IB seems to have bee pretty poor recently taking a good few seconds to get orders filled

that didnt quite make it through my sarcasm filter

sorry about the loss .... from my occasional glimpses of your posts you seem to do more med term trades. Surely in there markets you should change your strategy somewhat? At least till the volatility dies down. At the moment, I stay out of the market unless someone makes a significant comment...

tbh quickfix was the first I tried and recommended to me by other ppl. Seeing as it was simple to integrate into my applications and worked well I didnt try any others. I dont use ib. the charges seem unnecessary. I would be confident in assuming trading via fix with ib woudl be faster and safer...

am using quickfix and it's pretty stable. The only issues I've had are from different fix apis using certain tags to meet their own needs and sometimes conflicting with others

the docs have all the information you need
