Well, when you add a new contract like "JNPR S USD BEST_ECN" the bid and ask prices are for BEST_ECN route which I assume should be the best bid and best ask from available ECNs. So, when I say I bid 40.02 or 40.03 over 40 ask, the 40 ask is the one displayed on the BEST_ECN line. I...

I have been using BEST_ECN for the past week and have done about 300 trades with it. I have been using in on liquid stocks like INTC JNPR AMAT. Overall, I am pretty happy with it, but it's not perfect. At times when I really want a fill, I would place a limit order on the inside of the...

I've done about 50 trade using BEST ECN and it has worked pretty well. I've only been using it on liquid stocks like CIEN NVDA AMAT NVLS BRCD etc. On one 400 share trade, I got filled 200 ISLD, 100 INCA, 100 BRUT. The fills happened just as quick as an ISLD fill. On a couple trades I...

Hello Again, Well I think I've done about 1000 more trades with IB, and I am still very impressed with the execution speed and quality using ECNs on NASDAQ and BEST on NYSE stocks. Also, overall I like the Page user model better than CyberCorp's CyberX2 application because the JTWS lets...

SOX was +12%, all the go go semis and semeequip stocks were getting bought bigtime, also squeezing shorts. PMCS VTSS KLAC NVLS some favoriate squeezers. RMBS gets a special mention. AMAT and MU helped the squeeze jumping 10+% each. MU especially confused the shorts but not reporting earnings...

[Does someone know the IB email address for feedback about JTWS? I want to send the following comments to IB] I opened an account at IB last month and have now done about 600 trades. Overall and I am very pleased with the execution quality and the performance of the JTWS. The useability...

I think TraderWJ raised a valid concern. We know that people getting quotes within JTWS/TWS, are likely trading with JTWS/TWS, but someone using QT with IB datafeed might actually be using another broker to trade. They might only have a minimum account of $2000 at IB just to get the quotes...

The problem with integrating with IB is that they are not web-based. I think the interface between TWS and the IB data servers is complex. I traced the TCP/IP traffic from my workstation to IB's server and there were many messages being sent back and forth.. Trying to integrate basic trading...

Re: IB, there are several long message threads on it elsewhere on the site, also on SiliconInvestor. I recently opened an account with them to compare with CyberCorp which is my main broker. (I also use NDB and Datek) So far, I have done about 500 trades and overall the executions are just...

I stumbled upon this broker http://www.rjt.com and was wondering if anyone has an account with them? There Rapid Jet Plus and Jet Streamer look good for cheap, fast direct access excecutions. Their software looks cutting edge with WAP and PALM portals. I'm just wondering how reliable...
