Globex, A/C/E, Access - DO NOT accept market orders, the only orders they accept are limit orders. If you place a market order it must be converted by your firm into a limit order before they can send it to Globex. Most firms will convert it into a limit order "much better" than the current...

they won't, therefore do not place orders with * also, we recommend you do not place regular stops either because those are held on the brokerage firm's server, so if they have have problems the order will not go through we recommend stop limits because they can be held at Globex, taking...

Some people think others can "see" their orders if they send them to the brokerage firm or to Globex, so they want to hold the orders on their computer. -Not true at all. Craig

looks like they were a bucket shop no clearing FCM said they cleared their trades

I know Voodoos post pertains to regualr stops. If you place a stop limit the limit price will never nbe cjhnged by IB, nor should it be. I don't know if IB prefers stop limits to stop market orders, but we do. Again stop limits are accepted by Globex so they reside on their servers, stop...

def I get my info from IB clients I have talked to and if you would open your eyes and look at the previous posts you can read about it from other IB clients. If IB gets it quotes directly from Globex how did those two situations occur? I know you can use a stop limit at IB, that isn't...

There you go CdnTrader. If that is true they place a limit order about 3.00 points away from the current price after your stop is triggered. If I am reading it right, they change that order by another 3.00 points if it is not filled. That is the same thing you can do with stop limits then...

They don't set the price "after the gap," the price is set by adding X number of points to your stop price as soon as the stop is hit. So if your stop is hit and then the market gaps higher you will have a limit order still working.

Anyone know the details?

Exactly, soset your limit price really far away! If you place a stop order now, IB converts that to a limt order probably abou 5.00 points away - so you can still be f***ed. Check with them to see where they place limits after stops are triggered. With stop limits you can make yourself less...

We prefer stop limits - not to limit "bad fills," but because they are held at Globex and not our servers. If you are afraid of not getting filled with a stop limit, just place the limit price as a large "or better" order. That is what IB does with your stops anyway: when it is triggered they...

I'm talking about the bad ticks generated by IB's quote vendor. IB does not use Globex for quotes, they use a third party, look at Stevene9's posts as to what Matt at IB said. This is why his stop was not activated even though Globex was through it. The reverse happened to dottom when IB's...

If Globex holds stops for IB how do you explain IB clients getting fills on stops not hit or not getting fills on stops that were hit? I'm not saying it is just an IB problem, all platforms have to hold stop orders - Globex does not accept them, period. That is why it is best to use a platform...

We offer $1,000 daytrade margin per ES/NQ contract. www.ApexFutures.com

There are two problem with stops held on IB's servers, both stated above. If thier quotes go down or are delayed, your stop loss will not be triggered and you will still be in the trade and potentially lose more money than intended. Also, if their quote system gets a "bad tick" your stop would...
