Yes, forget the cheap commissions/fast executions/API, let's focus on "entry price on the TWS main page" Imagine being a IB customer rep and having to deal with this???

No it wasn't an ARCA issue. When there is an ARCA issue the quotes often get crossed quickly as ARCA is frozen. This was all equity quotes. In some cases they were 3-5 seconds behind. An easy way to test is to enter your limit order on an illiquid stock away from the market and see how...

The majority here may not like qdz2. But he is correct in saying there is an issue with the quotes. This morning was especially bad (equity/option quotes). In my experience when there is a quote issue it is often very difficult to illustrate/prove to IB but they will listen. I wasn't going...

There certainly is no manipulation or scheme going on. However, I have recently noticed some quote delays any time the market gets a little busy (not a connection issue). This may be what you are experiencing.

yes, I have done it many times and I trade from my home. I mainly do index arb on the DOW but sometimes I will do a pseudo basket against the NQ. (top 20-40 names in equal dollar value) For me it is not practical in the S&P. Index arb is a very small % of my trading. On the DOW...

Actually it is quite possible for some markets. Never overestimate the efficiency of the marketplace.

At least once a day. TMBR has been a great addition.

I have a GREAT Broker!! with great contacts.

figures. Perhaps you should read the rules.

We are on the same side. To get the PIP quotes posted by OPRA would be a huge advantage for ALL of us.

And did you realize that if the best bid ($1.50) was on another market (ISE) then an invisible PIP can still take place on the BOX. There is no incentive to post your best market at the BOX. So what happens - the ISE will lose order flow for sure. Currently, the "best" price generally...

oh, and the PHLX will soon introduce customer - customer auto order match. The technology is in place, they are simply waiting for the SEC to approve the rule. Look for this in FEB. And that would mean that any liquidity providers who are bidding $1.50, can't be pennied if another customer...

Tony is RIGHT!! If the guy bidding (outside liquidity provider) is constantly pennied (shut out at $1.50), then he will no longer bid 1.50 and the real bid may only be 1.30 and you will probably get filled at worse price. (maybe 1.31 or 1.32) Before the ISE, spreads were huge - why?? Very...

I'm pretty sure they have made a change as the ISE always use to be included in SMART - however, I have also seen one example where the ISE did not show up in the SMART quote Send an email to ib management with the example.

I have heard that this issue should be fixed sometime today. If anyone sees any of these related problems starting tomorrow, please post them here. thanks to all who helped in the cause and thanks to IB for once again listening.

Def, We all appreciate your effort. thanks for your help.

that still happens now. Since the flags are often incorrect the other way as well. (i.e indicates auto is available, so the quote is posted in SMART then routes to the Exchange and no auto really exists) But as I have stated this is the correct way to route your orders. It doesn't make...

mainly TAL (OPTRECO server - a new server designed for options)

If you guys feel strongly about this then you should send your complaints to IB management. I did last week. The more they hear about it the better chance it gets fixed. Make sure you let them know that auto's are often available and not only do you not route there but you don't post the...

99.9% of the time auto ex is avail. there is a manual route on "most" crossed markets
