Yes, that could happen - if you're not at the front of the queue, and the opposing sell order didn't come in via us (we do have a very significant market share).

The contract size is 5,000 bushels. A bushel is approximately 56lbs, so one contract = 280,000lbs = 140 short tons = 127 metric tonnes. Also the commission you quotes is for ags on CME. Corn is listed on the CBOT, thus, our commission would be $6.10 round-turn for the electronic...

Cancel fees are still applied as standard. If you execute against a displayed penny bid/offer then it "should trade" - but not guaranteed as it will still need to go to the exchange to execute.

Assuming you are buying, the order will be rounded down and sent to an exchange so that the order is still working. E.g. you send an order to buy at $1.23. An order will be sent to one of the exchanges to buy at $1.20. The $1.23 will be displayed on IB's penny option pricing system on the...

That's correct. From the website: "IB is not an options exchange and the IB penny option pricing system cannot execute option orders, only route them for execution: What the system does is provide a means for traders to communicate with each other that they may be willing to trade at a penny...

I don't know the particulars of this case, however as someone who deals daily with exchange busts, I'd make one comment that e-mailing your broker for a trade bust is not the right way to go about it. Many exchanges are very time sensitive to trade bust requests. You should be on the phone...

Yes, thats right. Every broker would charge you on the debit balance, but not every broker would credit you on the short stock value.

Short Stock Balance is $200k so you'd receive interest on the incremental over $100k, ie. $100k However, note that in your example if your original cash balance is $100k then your adjusted settled cash balance would be -$100k which would be subject to debit interest. There are a few...

The first line of the audit trail shows you how many contracts the order was submitted for (700). The statement shows how it was executed (3 partials at 3 different venues). If you go to Global Configuration >> Order >> Order Defaults, you can set-up size and price limits in order to...

kowboy, I can't see any ticket that was created within the last 2 days which resembles anything close to your issue. Were CS able to replicate your issue? When you contact CS you can ask them for the ticket number of the issue, this will enable you to track it and you can then quote it in...

Of what you mentioned: you can see the greeks, current assets and money positions in TWS. What other features are you looking for that you get with TOS but not with TWS? If we don't have them, then you could also add them to our New Features Poll...

Not sure what you mean - ZG is already trading electronically on the CBOT. Copper is only traded on Nymex/Commex. I expect that the metals will follow the energies and be traded on Globex very soon (before year end). IB will then offer them. Lets hope we make it in time for your expected...

kowboy, I would like to help, but I am in Hong Kong so for me to test this it needs to be done in the middle of the night - which I have done, and was unable to replicate. I also have no idea of your account number or account configuration. I would strongly suggest to call the US desk in...

Interactive Brokers, and probably most of the ECN type brokers, - will provide market depth. The single dealer FX providers by definition would not provide it. The market depth would, in your words, "reflect a handful of financial institutions that the broker is associated with". Generally...

kowboy, You're probably best to troubleshoot this in real-time with the CS desk. I presume you are looking at Level 2 quotes and not the Market Depth window? Also are you subscribed to ARCA? Since last week ARCA quotes now require a seperate subsription so you will not see them in the...

You may wish to check our software release notes. Almost everyone of these improvements has come from customer suggestions. We do listen, and we prioritise what appears to be the issues most in demand. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/releaseNotes/Notes_Index.php?ib_entity=llc...

Yes. You can do it via Account Management. FYI... the CS desk would have been able to answer this, and can assit you if necessary

It may take a reset to get the quotes after subscription, in which case it will work for you tomorrow (reset is midnight EST). I'm not 100% sure as I'm not in the office. You could double check with the CS desk.
