Execution Times It's an odd misfeature of IB's TWS that it logs trades in local time rather than market time. It seems to simply use your system's clock. :-( Don't know why they do that. Richard

C'mon guys, do the math! IB is a winner because it works well and is very inexpensive. But 1000 or 2000 shares? No! IB is a great deal for trades of 500 shares and less. If you like to trade 2000 shares you need to find a different broker. IB is $1 per 100 shares. So a 2000...
