I am not talking about "normal", who cares everything works; I am talking about the open, close or during a running market. I do not understand why you are being so defensive of IB's quotes; all vendors have different problems. You cannot test this kind of stuff on such a small sample and...

Not just IB anybody, this is a technical issue not something you can see with your eyes; and it has nothing to do with looking at the right quote. It is network balancing utilizing a priority scheme, i.e. an update on a quote for a security with a live order has priority over an informational...

I always wonder why someone is afraid of trading their own money ...

There is always a new one ...

You have to learn how to control your own trading; what you are asking is not their risk management's responsibility. In a firm like that you will be afforded increased margin; and since they are in the commission business, they probably won't dissuade you from using/abusing it.

Nothing ever changes with those guys ...
