    Anyone know how to use IB's MKT+REL order type?

    lengthy explanation of how REL+MKT works: suppose you are trading a combo to buy ABC and sell XYZ. ABC is 9.00 bid, 9.02 ask. XYZ is 5.01 bid, 5.02 ask. the implied ABC-XYZ spread is 3.98 bid, 4.01 ask. suppose you place a combo REL+MKT order to buy this combo at 4.00. the first leg...

    IB OPG orders

    we have changed the system to clean up unfilled OPG orders with small delay after the opening, same way as we clean up unfilled day orders with small delay after the closing. if your OPG order fills, you get a trade report immediately. if it does not fill, the cleanup and associated...

    IB : the end of excessive messaging?

    FYI, this does not avoid the margin checking, since you would be making your order more aggressive, which means more margin would be required for opening orders, or less cash would be received for closing orders (both mean the system needs to check the margin again).

    IB TWS: A tragedy in the making?

    There is a setting in TWS configuration that disables the hand-painted window title, and reverts back to standard Linux/etc title bar. You do lose a couple of features, like ability to group windows.

    IB buying power

    ValuBond/TradeWeb bond dealers are similar to FX dealers in that they accept only marketable orders: hence what MattM wrote is that your non-marketable orders can only be parked at internal crossing IBBOND engine (which is a recently added feature). The bid/ask requirement he wrote is for...

    IB buying power

    This is simply not true, there does not need to be both bid and ask. For selling a bond, presence of a bid is obviously required. There's an additional compliance requirement that there's more than 1 bid present for the sell order to execute, either both bids at the same dealer or at two...
