    Massive surge in trading volumes, say brokers.

    being IB user for over a decade i know that you can see in tws where your order is routed. what i'm saying is -you can't get this info via api. example: NBBO bid is 100x 10(at BATS) ,ask -1000X 10.25 (at ARCA)- place my HIDDEN order to buy 100 shares at 10.10 as smart and it was routed to...

    HFT? Forget about HFT, it's now..HIT.

    the question is-how did you get there(on front of others)? if you are not sure,if it's legal or not-it's sounds fishy already to me. because back to old days-there is only few things involved in that line-price,size and time. in that order. don't sell me evolving.ecosystem and other fancy cr**...

    Reaction to Michael Lewis's book and "60 Minutes" interview

    ----Hopefully the SEC will act now after this gets dragged into the spotlight. --- they won't. SEC is a good example of what happening with USA at every level of every sector\industry. it's a same s*** everywhere. as i said before-it they have ANY intentions to stop at least little part of...

    Massive surge in trading volumes, say brokers.

    what's the point of this "exercise"? you don't believe it? one more time-you hide your order-you lose any priority. you display your order-"they" will subpenny you,if you right about upcoming price move. now-in order for you to get a fill-the trade should take a place at exchange,where you...

    Massive surge in trading volumes, say brokers.

    These days you either get nothing, if you are at the bid(unless price is about to go against you in a very short term) or if you hide your order-they will trade trough someplace else. At much better prices and you wil get nothing(or worse-1-2shares) Not sure how many times I have to repeat...

    Massive surge in trading volumes, say brokers.

    +1. Pdt is an absolute nonsense, but again-i see no fish. My fill ratio is all time low, sitting at about 20%. This means that out of 100 signals, where I was right about certain price level-stock did traded at my price and I got no fill. 20 out of 100 ps-and those 20s that I got-all loosers...

    Massive surge in trading volumes, say brokers.

    I guess this mean top of the market not sure what those brokers see(i would trust their words as muchs one can trust national association of Realtors about real estate situation), but I can't see a single evidence of it in stocks volumes.

    IB Symbol Problems - MSFT, INTC, CSCO

    Thank you Dst! looks like everything is fine in latest browser version. all columns are there and no problems with a T&S window position and size. but IMPO-having that feature,where if customer is looking for particular time frame in T&S window-it also automatically jumps in the chart to that...

    Unofficial TWS bug thread

    back to T&S-good feature "search" in T&S-you enter date and time- press enter-boom! all transactions are there(and chart changes too). excellent! BUT! could be better,if more common sense was used-when customer press search and get the data in T&S window for this particular time period-it would...

    US$1 million is not enough for retirement

    no one is immune to a disease. you don't have to be obese to get into a health problems. hey..a f** hip or knee replacement from JOGGING can set you back really good. i can live on 1M just fine for 30 years or more,assuming free healthcare,but you won't get any with your 1M on account.
