Don't they have an EFP that's supposed to be even better?

The quote feed problem at IB is random and sporadic. I only had it one time -- but once was ENOUGH! I will not be upgrading TWS until I am forced or until I'm convinced they have the problem fixed. Several users are posting they still have it even with the latest TWS. I wish IB would just...

IB didn't have data issues....

ZG is on eCBOT yes.

Their time and sales are also delayed -- I checked my IB feed and it showed the price I got. Their data just sucked. Remember the 10 trades aren't free -- you also pay for RT data fees that IB gives for free.....

Sorry to say I don't bother even looking at the TS forum anymore. The TS staff respond a month later (almost as bad as the IB board -- funny though the IB staff respond quickly here!). I realize it is a trading cost -- and mine was a trailing stop. But the end result was giving back 50%...

You can -- but no guarantee it will work fine for your real account. Also it seems to be sporadic -- you can go weeks without a problem -- or have it every day. :(

No worries -- not trying to attack you :) If you read the IB bulletin board apparently there's still some kind of issue, but it seems to only affect futures???? And often only after the nightly reset. Last time I ran 870 it took 5 minutes to start up..... Then again read my...

I already figured there's no way I'm getting it back....nice to know that I should steer my business away from TS though :( I just checked my price logs from IB -- I see what you mean. Boy does TS SUCK!!!!! Even their time & sales is wrong!

I didn't realize until I came home and reviewed the days logs that I was RAPED and PILLAGED by Tradestation this morning. My stop market (simulated using their trading automation) was triggered at 09:12:19 AM and was filled at 674.3. When I got the email notification the price was around there...

Boyz remember that no problems for you doesn't mean the problem is fixed. Just that you haven't hit it yet (maybe it is fixed I don't know). That's another gripe I have with IB -- no notice that bugs have been noted and/or fixed. Not that IB is unique in that regard. I heard that IB...

Twice now I've had orders submitted in TWS for metals on GLOBEX (NYMEX) somehow turn on their RTH flag. My TWS is set to allow stops to trigger outside of RTH and orders I submitted on other exchanges (for example eCBOT and CDE -- Montreal exchange) do not get this attribute set. Additionally...

Thanks for the advice -- that's *almost* funny. Reminds me of scottrade with my mutual fund trades from years back .. they kept losing them. I definitely plan to stick to electronic options where possible -- I've made some pit trades and watched stop market orders not fill.... SSB

Can anyone list their recommended broker for futures options? I know IB has some, openecry says they also have them but I don't have much info on them. Other brokers? SSB

Which is the reason I want them....

Dude, no offense but who are you to decide if other people find it necessary to trade sugar or pulp or whatever? It's IB's decision whether or not to offer it but if they don't want to I wish they'd at least give a good reason AND a straight answer. But thanks for your kind wishes :eek: I...

I used TD Waterhouse a few years ago. Mutual fund trading was fine but without fail I got poor to borderline criminal fills on my trades. I did much better with stock trades at Scottrade but they lost two separate mutual fund orders I placed. After the first one I thought maybe I had't...

A post on the IB board says they will be offering this soon. Can anyone at IB confirm this?

Boy do I smell urine. Can't you guys knock it off for one day??? :D :D If you are having the disconnection problems send me a PM and I'll give you the address of the IB rep who contacted me. Having a log file of the issue is a definite first step towards getting them to fix it.... SSB
