Sorry I thought I had responded to this! I was asking b/c I wanted to ensure I wasn't mis-understanding the articles and the differences between ATS, Exchanges, etc b/c the stats were so far off. I thought I had misunderstood or something!

@qlai - the wall st on parade link u posted says ats counts for about 38% of all us stock volume, but this tabb group article in the thread says ats only accounts for 11%. Hell of a discrepancy ao im sure I am not understanding something. Can u please reconcile both conflicting stats? Thank u!

Is trf another way of saying traditional exchanges? I thought trfs were where different venue types (exchanges, ecns, dark, internalized, otc) report their trades, not venues to be traded on in and of themselves. Article says trf comprised 38% of trading volume with ats having 11%, so where is...

You consistently post insightful articles, thanks for sharing!

Hi peeps! Is there a keyboard hotkey / mouse programmable shortcut to quickly change the routing destination of an order? Would like to be able to modify the routing of an order regardless of whether it was initially made via manual entry through Mosaic or via BookTrader. The "change routing"...

Hi efficiency beasts! Is there a keyboard hotkey OR mouse programmable shortcut to close an open window for TWS? Ctrl+W doesn't work, neither does Shift+F4, neither does the ESC key. They have a hotkey for minimizing all windows, but not to close a window. For example, if I open a level 2...

Hi ET, What do entries without venue names next to them represent in the order book? Are these dark routes, IBKRATS internalized routes, ECNs, or something else? I have seen exchange names that IB does not support identified in DOM before so figure it must be something else. See attached...

Don't they make everything designed to take advantage of the individual trader sound so noble? "Hear ye hear ye fellow traders, from this day onward we shall all be equal to one another, trading side by side - ON PARITY!" Onward trade!!!!!!!!!!

Haha I know right !

Lool thank you. It is always nice to enjoy a good party, even if it is at your expense. My posts are good though man come on: I never insult peeps asking for mentoring or "strategies" lol, and I only ask specific questions which I couldn't answer after my own research. Apparently my posts are so...

Does 30 million trading mistakes count? Could that possibly get me a weekend pass?

LMAO Baaa zing! IB RATS!

Thanks ZBZB! I am aware of the IBKRATS, but wanted to know more about the other 7 dark venues IB claims to route too. I guess maybe it is proprietary... Well thanks again for your contribution as always!

I dont get the joke?

Hi IB, IB states on their site that their Smart - Dark Only routes to 8 different venues. What 8 dark pools does IB route to? - Phone reps don't know and never get back to me despite multiple tickets open. I can understand this being proprietary from other firms, but not from IB clients who...
