    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    The price filled is greater by a penny than the price I entered or sent to the exchange. You can say I'm wrong all you want. Let people find out for themselves.

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    I would suggest trying it out yourself. Then let me know and I'll PM you the audit trail. As mentioned earlier it won't tell the entire story but I will keep to my word if you don't find out for yourself. You'll be saving me time and effort.

    Also make sure that you don't go by IB"s leve II. It lags most of the time and has stuck quotes. You should have access to a level II that is flowing freely and accurately showing you the best bids and offers being posted and lifted along with the Time and sales information completing and...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    I have no problem in furnishing the audit trail. However, it won't tell you the entire story. It will tell you at what price the order was accepted by the particular venue and at what price it was executed. It won't tell you what the inside bid or offer - whichever applies - was at that...

    I'll qualify that statement by saying - Rebates are priiority followed by the fill itself.

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    I can do that. I'll PM you a copy of my audit trail next week proving exactly what I've been saying. To wit: IB is more interested in earning rebates than filling customers orders. I am not going to repeat myself. You can refer back to my earier example. The audit trail will justify what I've...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    This is not what I am alluding to. I'll try to simpify. For example the current bid is 10.00 and 100 shares are available at this price. The current ask is 10.01 and there are 200 shares available at the ask price. With IB if you place an order to sell your 100 shares at 10.00 which is the...

    I can only state what happened to me and is still happening. It is the truth and nothing but the truth.

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    You don't get good fills at IB. Because their commissions are low they are interested in earning rebates on clients orders. I am talking stocks here and my remarks are confined to this instrument. If you are an active scalper at IB you will notice that most often you will get a price improvement...

    would IB ever piggy back your trades?

    For Stocks only: Routing via Smart may not be the best way to route your orders. Many if not most of my orders when targeting the inside bid and when there was enough liquidity on the inside bid failed to hit the inside bid when routed through Smart. This example is when you are trying to...
