Not that it really matters (well, maybe just a little), I pay $128 per month for NYSE quotes through IB, vs $1 through RealTick. It's just ironic that IBs quotes are totally useless, even though you usually get what you pay for. That's all. I know some people at IB read these threads, and...

Glad to see that you are well, thank God for modern medicine. By the way, any more feedback about NYSE OpenBook? This question is for anyone who is using or trying it out. Thanks, shneed

There are now 22 pages devoted to the topic of slow/bad quotes when it comes to IB, there are probably another 3-5 threads on elite where people are complaining about this issue. I think that IB quote problems at this point is a given. Now, if you tell me that you trade every day and rely...

Exactly what dlincke wrote. In addition, there are many times where I see a better price reflected on a number of regional exchanges or a market maker like Knight/Trimark, especially if the stock is trading on some kind of news. If I send an order to NYSE at the same price as posted away from...

My quotes were about 5 seconds behind Real Tick, and it had nothing to do with REDI or any other ECN, since I only trade NYSE stocks through IB. shneed

Why doesn't IB allow routing to regional exchanges for NYSE executions? Is it possible to do so? Thanks, shneed

Def, I am looking at level 2, are you saying that if I see a mm on the screen for a NYSE stock, I can hit them with a SuperSoes order? If that's the case, shouldn't "BEST" order do that automatically? Also, If I see them on my level 2 screen, I do not see their price reflected on the TWS when...

Def, very often when I trade NYSE stocks, I see "TRIM" and "CAES" on the bid or the offer of every stock. Many times, they are the best bid or the best offer. Is there any way to have IB Best route to them as well? I've asked IB this question, and this was the reply: Dear Trader...

It's amazing. Just proves that if you want to steel money in America you should go out and try to steel millions if not billions of dollars, God forbid you should make 91k, the full weight of the US Government will come crashing on you. This guy will probably end up being punished more then...

Don, Is there a way to check wich stocks are gapping down or up on NYSE before the market opens? Thanks, shneed

Anyone who talks and writes like this deserves to post here. This should be fun. shneed

Don, What do you mean "use Selectnet", I am talking about NYSE? shneed

Don, One more question, very often I see CAES and TRIM either on the offer or the bid for NYSE stocks. I was told by my broker that they are some kind of market makers, and that the orders cannot be routed directly to them. Is this the case, and can the orders be routed to them at Bright...

Don, Are they your better traders? Thanks, shneed

Don, I've been reading your posts with great interest. I have a question regarding NYSE open order book. Do you think it's benefit, or a just a way to fool traders? Do you use it? Thanks, shneed

Def, As far as I can tell IB has a somewhat substantial number of traders working for them, or through Timber Hill. I am sure that they are not plagued by this recurring problem of quote feed. Do they simply get their quotes from other source, and if that's the case, why can't we get quotes...

MSKL, Disconnect what? Thanks, shneed

Here's the reply from IB: Dear Trader, Thank you for your email. Here is a link to our web site that explains the change in colors: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/webhelp/TWS_Reference_Information/TWS_Color_Key.htm#OrderStatus John W IB Customer Service...

MSKL, I've been having the same problem with NYSE stocks in the morning and late afternoon. I thought it was just a problem with IB, but your observation makes sense. Sent an e-mail to customer service, waiting for response. Maybe DEF will appear and answer this question. Buy the way, in...

Don, I get Dow Jones News, is there something specific that I can or have to subscribe to, to see order imbalances in the morning and the evening, or do I have to just sit and wait for the news to scroll until I see some kind of a report for a particular stock? Thanks shneed
