Thanks rtharp It really sounds too complicated to me ,I just started daytrading and also with this kind of market would not feel confortable to trade more than 100 shares a trade. Thanks for the info,really appreciated that :)

Hi ktm, So far I've used ib stop loss only once ,and like I said in the other thread ,I had to cancel it and send an order myself because it was never trigerred. I hope though that other traders who had the same problem step forward to finally resolve this issue. It's true we are paying...
