That indicates that there is a better price available on IDEAL.

There's a Beta TWS out now. Release notes are here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/releaseNotes/Betanotes.php Here you will see the new FX Trader interface. You will also see how we will be displaying the PnL figures - although please note that these are not fully...

all market orders are removing liquidity

Not yet, nor the ZAR (although we do have the futures on both). Once we start rolling the exotics out, we'll bring on a bunch as demand dictates. Rubles would be quite high on the list.

We have added Swedish Krona and will gradually be bringing more currencies on probably early next year. The first bunch will likely be Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar and Norwegian Krone. Others will follow.

Go to layout and add the Quantity columns. You can then specify $100k, and the order size will be calculated for you.

In Ideal Pro the only quote listed is the conventional quote - so you'll see EUR/USD but not USD/EUR. In the new Beta TWS865, you'll actually be able to see the EUR/USD quote and click a button to see the reciprocal (USD/EUR). You'll also be able to see the P&L. This could be released as...

We're currently not showing OI figures - it's coming any day, hence you see the column. I'm not sure about the other issue, you should contact the CS desk during trading hours if it occurs, as you should be able to switch between the two displays.

Deutsche Bank were down earlier today, so this may have been the issue. It has been resolved now so all fills/cancellations should be reflected on your account. If this order is still on your screen please contact us via chat or phone.

Price/Time priority as per most exchanges. If you are best bid, and then a bank joins your bid, then you're order is first in the queue. Thus, if another client sends in an order to sell, it fills against your quote first.

I presume your talking about the Collegiate Trading Olympiad. Maybe time to learn how to convert your current manual trading system into code... http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/education/IBTradingOlympiad.php

Yes, TWS865. Should be out in the Beta within a week.

If settlement moved to T or T+1, then the FX cross-rates would be priced accordingly. No-one's going to hand-out blank cheques whether you're Joe Public or Mega-hedge fund. If you don't believe the advice that you are getting, then feel free to try it. Many brokers would be glad of the...

That's exactly how the FX market works. The "triangular arb" trade that you want to put on will not work. USD->EUR EUR->GBP GBP->USD The ony reason that you are seeing "free money" is because the market takes into account the interest charges. When there is a holiday in one...

Yes, there is the possibility of both being filled at the same time. This could happen if the market order was sent at the same time that the limit order was filled. It's a slim possibility, but could definitly happen. Another way you could do it, is set-up the Limit Order Good-Till-Time, and...

You could link a Limit Order with a Market Order Good-After-Time and set them into an OCA group. I've never tested this, so you may want to try it first in the papertrader first.

Baron, It is possible to interface Tradestation charting to IB via our API. Unlike many other firms, Tradestation haven't programmed an interface themselves (surprise:-)) but there are a number of third party companies that have developed an interface. Many of these our listed on our website...

Yes, your TWS needs to be running. Send a ticket to CS, they will be able to send you the audit trails for the orders in question.

The original poster didn't specify metric ton (tonne), long ton or short ton, and given the amount of nationalities represented on ET I wasn't going to assume one or the other, so gave him info on all. No problem not knowing how much a bushel is, it's less well known than a catty or a tael...
