    How do you route QQQ trades via IB

    avoid amex like the plague. all others work pretty well. sometimes you can finesse NYSE for a good fill between the spread. island still fastest, and you can still route to it.

    What a day!

    QQQ and SPY have both gapped through WEEKLY resistance. QQQ has built solid intraday support at 22.35 - 21.98 band. If it consolidates above that level, more upside is possible. I follow trend, and will be ready if downside returns, but...... If ever there was a time to "trade what you...

    Proof That Specialists Are Crooks

    I think Tradestation holds stops in the customer's computer. Of course now I can't find the quote on their website, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

    Holy Cr*p ISLD blocked from providing QQQ ,DIA, and SPY full book quotes

    Seems to me Island is still the best place to place a resting limit order above or below the market. One troubling thing is that IB is not going to smart route to island, so that eliminates the best place for market and stop orders with smart routing to get executed. Tradestation has...

    Anybody here trading MER ? ?

    before the nyse opened, MER was something like 37.42 at 39.81 on ECN's. I happened to be watching it because I held it long overnight. 100 shares traded at that 39.81 before the offer started coming down.
