    IB Bonds

    ---My point to bob is that there's no true electronic market place. Inventory searching and then trading via the traditional desk is not true electronic market place, don't you agree?--- disagree. call IB and ask them,if you having problems to believe my story, that it could be done w\o any...

    IB Bonds

    depends.in some cases (again-my experience buying corp bonds) few years ago-execution will be almost instantaneous. in some cases-might take couple minutes. but there is no phone calls,no request for quote process. you click-you buy. that's all. once again-this is the only broker,who offers...

    IB Bonds

    i know that,but i never heard of dirty or clean quotes. they are definitely not in my bond's vocabulary..all either future or accrued interest in in YTM(which calculated from current price). i'm wrong? :p

    IB Bonds

    HFT - If You Commit The Following Your Company Is Finished

    this one is a bit extreme(but not surprising at all)..there is a variation of that 'theme',which i'm experiencing every single day tens of times a day. you buy at ask(forget buying at the bid these days)-you submit your buy order->someone steps on front of you,buying those shares and most of...
