    I know a vendor that will execute these for .01/sh That means IB could charge .01/share and still be profitable. So "what do I think".... I think IB is just as capable of routing them out as the next guy. :)

    OES v. ISI for Listed Stocks

    I think that ISI is just for NYSE stocks and OES is for regionals. They are just delivery lines, and I don't thing you will see any difference in the systems. You may see a diffrence in the regional execution versus the NYSE. I may be way off here.... :)

    IB's hidden orders aren't working for me

    This depends on where your order is, whom is holding the reserve, broker or ECN. How quickly they repost. Who the seller is using. Some "smart" router have a built in pause (1 second or so) to catch those price improvements opportunities. Others just bang out the order at inferior prices...
