If you submit a buy stop order prior to the market open, will you receive the opening price if the market opens above your stop price. For example: you place a buy stop order at $60 the night before. The next morning, the market opens at $61, will you be filled along with all the MOO (opg)...

Tried doing this and you can only have a conditional submission for limit, market, relative, snap order types...any other ideas

That will get a bit closer, thanks. Just want to avoid when it gaps up and comes down and crosses those prices it doesn’t slightly shot back up and activate the order.

How do you put in the condition for opentomorrow>close today in tws...is this possible.

Does IB have an order type or condition that can do the following: Stock close as a green bar today. Place an order to buy the next day if the stock crosses the previous days high. However, only want to buy if the stock breaks the high by increasing, not by coming down. For example, only buy if...

Lookong at getting people's perspective on how they use margin on stocks. If you use the old saying of only risking 1% or 2% of your capital on any one trade, how do you end up using leverage. Say you have a 3% stop for example and that represents 1% of your capital. How can you leverage up if...

I saw an old post of yours where you mention that using stops is the worst form of managing risk. I have recently been looking into not using stops and how to apply that type of methodology. Could you give me a bit of information on not using stops and how you exit. What do you do when you hit...

How does the beta of a stock that does the opposite of the market look?

My second question was asking if there is anything else that tracks correlation to the markets movement other than beta.

If the market is up 1% for the day can it be assumed that a stock with a beta of 2 would then be up 2%. Is this the basic theory of beta. I know that this isn't how it will work out but is the principle that beta is the magnitude of how a stock tracks the market. How about a stock that always...

Yes, I am testing out a system using OPG orders in IB paper account. But I am finding that very few of the orders get the opening price. I was under the impression that I just wasn't apart of the opening price and therefore the order was cancelled. I am wondering if it is because it is a...
