    QQQQ topping

    IMO, it will be kept high long enough for the big boys to unload at a good price.

    Is IB a Bucket Shop

    You got me a bit worried. Are you sure IB does not monitor customer progress and respond accordingly?

    Is IB a Bucket Shop

    I'm the last one to pass false info. If what you are saying is true, then something has changed. Where are you getting your information from?

    Is IB a Bucket Shop

    IB even pays for order flow from other brokers; so obviously IB customers' orders will be routed to IB/Timber Hill. But I don't see anything wrong with the above unless YOU were trying to buy at the bid OR sell at ask, but the trades of IB customers were being routed to the exchange where...

    IB routing: Timber Hill or the customer?

    If we placed an order to buy 50 options at the bid on one exchange (e.g. CBOE), and Timber Hill did the same on another exchange (e.g. PHLX), if another IB customer sells 50 options at the bid, to who/ which exchange will the trade be routed?

    What's the sense of this one? Is this IB or PHLX?

    IB: negotiated rates possible??

    Has anyone been able to arrange a special negotiated rate with IB for trading volume? OR a special arrangement to NOT be charged for cancellations (i.e. for options)? We have better arrangements with other brokers on several points, and therefore do much trading elsewhere, and my question is...

    IB - penny option pricing *now*

    Problem corrected by us when we removed Penny Options. Perhaps what happened is that because we have been monitoring many stocks, TWS counted it as if we had "opened a separate page" for each stock??

    Avoid cancellation charges

    Did I understand you correctly? Are you suggesting that IB charges cancellation fees even if you have more fills?

    Avoid cancellation charges

    1. I think IB cancellation charges vary based on exchange. 2. There's no telling if IB has any cancellation fees to the exchanges, because the exchange charges based on the broker as a whole. Also, IB charges for cancellations on exchanges that don't charge the broker (e.g. BOX) to the best...

    Avoid cancellation charges

    Today we sold about 90 options of PFE. The buyer literally bought one at a time, which I imagine was his way of balancing cancellations versus fills.

    Forex newbie question (on IB platform)

    I have not really traded Forex before: What does trading $25,000 USD/JPY at a one cent profit (e.g. 117.500 to 117.510 mean after commissions with IB? (It's after hours, so I can't tell).

    Impact of reverse split on options (e.g. NT)

    Are you sure of this observation? Alternatively thought, that certain institutional buyers would now view NT as a candidate.

    Impact of reverse split on options (e.g. NT)

    Very often one sees for non-standard options that they don't represent 100 shares, rather some number less (e.g. 67 or something). If what you are saying is correct, when is it your understanding that this would apply? EDIT: Note, it would seem that you are saying that instead of being $.10...

    Impact of reverse split on options (e.g. NT)

    Perhaps I should know the answer myself, but don't. NT is undergoing a 10:1 reverse split I believe on December 1. We have a bunch of out of the money call options with a strike price of $5. We were told by the Options Calling Center that the impact of this reverse split on the underlying...
