thanks for answer, do you know if there might be another ECN on TWS like for example Inet or Bats where it will be possible to put a liquidity flag; i just want the rebates and I do not want that the ECN will route out my orders. thanks

which setting on TWS should i use for following order: when i send limit order to arca i want rebates for adding liquidity (0.0025 NYSE). Order must not be routed out to other ECN/exchange because in that case i must pay fees for routing out. I already use unbundled fee structure for stocks...

thanks mnx, your answer is clear. Unfortunately it will not be interesting for me to hit their bid or lift offers. I have a rebate trading style; place bids and offers to receive the rebates. I just never take liquidity. Do you know if it's legal for these market makers to quote in sub pennies...

thanks mnx, could you please informed if auto means automated trading desk and trim = Trimark? One of the platforms I use is Realtick and there is a routing through Trimark but it is not possible to send a limit price in sub-pennies. Does it mean that you route though them. As far as i know...

could someone explain following. I quite often see prints/prices of stocks which are still in sub-pennies, for example $ 8.2001 This means that when I am bidding 8.20 though an ECN (like for example inet or arca) my buy limit does not get a fill because "someone"is paying 1/100 cent more...

As promised I hereby want to let you know that finally the problem has been solved. IB apologized for the length of time it took.

kiwi trader, i will follow your advice. Will do it after the long weekend. Will post further developments. Thanks

they did not put in a symbol for a different security. So that's not the problem. They put in in the the symbol and (let's say for example ABC) and added " .OLD '" so it must be ABC but they put in ABC.OLD (abc is just example, its a illiquid stock that's why I give this example)...

I really do not like your remarks. I am trading professionally since many years and I never had a problem which like this which took 4 days to solve. I have no intention to make bad remarks about IB. I only ask if somebody has a suggestion how I can solve the problem. As I said I send in...

I already tried to close my long position by calling them. But they can not trade the symbol before the back office has adjusted it. Anyway thanks for your reply. (it's very strange that it takes 4 days until now to make such easy adjustment). I have experience with other brokers where such...

4 days ago Interactivebrokers put a wrong symbol in my account. I made several requests to adjust it. I send in several tickets to ask to change the symbol. until now nothing has happened! The problem now is that I am not able to close my long position as the the TWS does not recognize the...

Thanks Danjos for your information. What will happen when I route to for example Inet. (this would be a kind of solution, I think)

suppose cancellation fees will come for NYSE and AMEX stocks. This will give privileges to specialist. In that case you could just route to inet or some other ecn which does not have these these cancellation fees.

hi Don what exactly do you know about trading trough Amex. I trade Amex and quite often i adjust my bid - offer let's say its kind of envelope strategy. By the way what will happen if I trade Amex or NYSE stocks through Inet, they do not have such limitations (adjusting bid offer prices...

as far as I understand odd lot trading on Amex is not allowed. (for example 5 orders of 98 shares / with total of 490 shares). What will happen to a trader who is sending these type of orders to specialist book. What will happen when these trades are routed trough ECN, as far as I understand...

steve, lescor suppose I send 5 odd lot orders (for example 5 x 98 shares = total 490 shares) to amex specialist. Is this accepted by Amex. If not what will be the procedure. I know that through some software platforms (not through IB) it's possible to send these type of orders, and some...

Thanks Don, So does it mean that from feb-may 2007 there will be no trade throughs anymore? (if a sell order comes in, first my bid at 10.00 will be hit and after that the nyse bid at 9.97) suppose next bids are at 9.90 arca 9.90 nyse which bid will be hit first if a sell order comes...

I understand from Hybrid system that from now or from the beginning of 2007 these trade throughs should not happen anymore. So can anybody explain why it still happens that there is for example ecn bid 10.00 nyse bid 9.97 and trades are at 9.97 Thanks

flbum, i also have the experience that a smart limit order through TWS remains active in the regular trading hours but it will not participate in the opening cross. (only a limit on open will participate).

When I place a smart buy limit order, in the pre-market through TWS / Interactivebrokers, will it participate in the opening cross of Nasdaq?
