Eldredge, what routing do you use for your fills? thks

please email to beakeeper_1999@yahoo.com Thanks for your effort

The only reason I tried market orders with IB was b/c a trusted (past tense) source told me they were very good fills; maybe he meant fast? Another problem I've encounter with TWS: I wasn't able to trade via the rapid order panel, the error said "Your account isn't allowed/setup to trade...

How much slippage did you get? What stock was it? What time of day? I always use limit orders so don't know how much slippage would be normal for an IB Best execution market order. But it would be interesting to know how much slippage you had. Traded BRCM between 9:30 - 11:30. Slippage...

I'm new to IB. I was kind of surprised today with the fills I received using "BEST" market orders. I've heard they were suppose to be very good but I think I'll stick with limit orders from now on. Does anyone else feel this way, or is slippage ok with most IB Best, market order users. I've...

One more question. If im long 200 shrs, can I get short by selling 400 shrs of the same stock; instead of doing two trasactions to get short (200 to cover long + 200 to get short). thks

Are stop orders held in the software or are they sent as soon as they are created? Can orders of held positions be executed via the "account info" or "executions" page? If i place a stop order, but decide to exit my position prior to the stop, will both a market and limit order cancel my...

Any Primex issues using Best lately?

Can anyone come, or do I have to be a wealthlab user? I'd like to learn about it.

I guess I won't be transfering my acct here after all. With out lev2 integration it isn't really practical to have to worry about routing orders.

If its truely a T3 (28 t1's), and not a fractional t3, then that would provide a very fast connection. Would it be faster then a t1 pt-pt, I guess that all depends on traffic thru each router/gateway, and net traffic in general.

ArchAngel, elie, Do you feel the realtime charting is good enough to trade with or do you use qcharts charting as well? thks

Has anyone given this software a try. Do they give buy alerts in real time? The previous ver. was end of day only

I'm wondering if we need to create a order entry line for each exchange we want to route to or is there a hot key to specify this? I wouldn't seen practicle to to do this with every stock your watching?

Faction, what is your total montly cost for neovest's first alert. Their web pg doesn't seen to offer prices?

I'm assuming that most people that use IB also use additional software for quotes and charting. With that said, would it make sense or be possible to some how disable the quote source w/in IB's trader work station to save bandwith and processor power. Also, has IB though about partnering...

fleance, I have not yet started my IB acct yet, but I think your suggestions are very good. The rapid order entry makes alot of sense. Hopefully Def is listening?

wallstreetcity.com Sorry

Does anyone have experience with wall st city's stock scanner and charting software? Some of there stuff looks like medved qtracker. Anyway, I'm asking b/c I'm looking for software that will alert me to realtime trading opportunities. Not sure How good Qcharts or Cyberquant is either...

Thanks for all the help so far. Sounds like there may be some debate between best ecn, best, and Super soes? Do most of you guys use market orders? Will IB hang ya out to dry on market orders (execute way away from the inside quote) Thks
