HotKeys are not made because of latency.

Hi, Anyone know if I can have a HotKey that can include FXCONV and not IDEALPRO for a forex order? I don't see the option when I try to create this type of HotKey on IBKR. I only see Destination SMART and DEFAULT and not even IDEALPRO but order goes as IDEALPRO. Thanks,

It doesn't talk about my questions (see original post about colors). Only explains that if there is a "C" it is showing it's previous days closing price and "H" is halt. No talk about color codes. Also, I see these extra shapes (circles, tilted squares, and squares of white, green, red, gray...

Waste of time. You can try to answer the original question.

Yes, got it working - thanks. I see that there is a separate HotKeys under each item like Charts has it's own. A) For Forex I am able to input all I need except for Destination should be FXConv and it places the order as IDEALPRO only. Maybe this is setup somewhere else (like Forex Presets? I...

Hi, What are some of the 3rd party add-ons / modules you use for IBKR TWS? They have hundreds of services and businesses listed on their website. I wonder if any of those tie into TWS to improve it? For example, I am looking for a trading hours clock to visually show hours as trading hours for...

This is not explained there.

Good guess but sametick doesn't hold for sure because I see price changes and it still stays with black background (I am assuming you mean RED is downtick, GREEN is uptick, and BLACK is sametick). So, if sametick is not correct maybe uptick and downtick is not either???

Hi, Generally, it looks like RED is showing a value decrease and GREEN is showing a value increase for a security on TWS > Monitor > Favorites window but I am puzzled by some colors I see. CHANGE% column which shows percentage change since last reset (end of day for example) shows RED if a...

This is not an existing order. It will be a brand new order but want the order to be bracket Sell with Buy profit taker or Buy with Sell profit taker. Is there a step trace in hot keys or some other method I can do this? Please explain. Thanks. P.S. It would be a big bonus IF the hotkey can set...

Hi, Is it possible to have a hot key setup within IBKR for a single two-leg order that include Sell and Profit Taker (Buy)? Set LMT sell price to: Google 100 shares @ $3000 Set profit taker LMT buy price to: Google 100 shares @ 2000 If yes, please explain how. Thanks,

Hey GRULSTMRNN, thanks for the great post. This is great info and learning experience. I know exactly what you mean with the risk this recklessness (of their programs or people) created. A) Can you explain the type of order that was placed? Was this a market order or a limit order? If a limit...

Hi Luo8, thanks for the informative post. I see you didn't get much far here as no one seems to have the experience. Were you able to setup or test your FIX solution whether over a dedicated line to IBKR or over VPN or internet? If yes, what were you speed findings and other interesting things...

Hi, thanks for the post. 1- Is Interactive Brokers directly listed in Equinix list of providers of their Fabric or they are located in CH4 and a cross-connect has to be coordinated directly with IBKR and Equinix? 2- You said 10micro seconds. This is crazy good. What sort of connection did you...

Thanks for the link. Do you know the type of business relationship between owners of this site and the brokers that this data is recorded here and not else where? And what is the record delay for?

You have logic. You also speak the truth seems like. Good for you. The "cat" name is Roaring Kitty I think. He has a youtube channel. The problem is: A) Information is not distributed equally and B) Big collusion moves happen (classic price fixing).

Yeah, sure the source doesn't need to be known like that. But from available source as part of ETFs etc... Also, my main question was why there is no real-time short positions graph.B Butf that's also a FINRA thing then I wonder why they want real-time buy and sell data shown but not shorts.

Why is it that it's only published every two months and not real time? I mean it's not like they are call or out with dates.

A lot written but none address real-time short graph for any stock AND/OR who holds it.
