Thanks for your prompt answer! Can you elaborate? I still don't understand it. Best, Jaime

Hi all, What are the costs of short sell ETFs on IB?. I asked to help desk and they told me they are the same of buying long. It does not make sense to me. Am I missing something? Best Regards, Jaime

Hi All, I'm trying to build an automatic trading on open market. My initial thought was to use two linked OCA orders, one buy limit order - no time in force - and one market order starting at 12:00 Eastern. I saw that IB offer a Limit-on-open order. What there is the difference between...

Hi All, from IB website: Define the NBBO price cap by entering the "maximum allowable distance from NBBO." Note that NBBO price capping supersedes the exclusion of non-firm quotes, i.e. your order will be routed to a non-firm quote within the price cap over a firm quote outside the price cap...

Is there any workaround? How about exclude amex from smart routing? Best, Jaime

Hi All, Is there a way to put order smaller than 100 shares going to AMEX from Excel API? I got an error rejecting the order. Thanks, Jaime

I asked to IB help desk and they told me it will be cleared @ 95 (same size order). It doesn't make sense to me.

Hi All, I have a question about orders. Let's say I put a buy limit order @ 100 and someone put a limit sell order @ 95. What is the transaction price? Thanks in advance, Jaime

Hi All, this is from IB website: "An odd lot order to OPEN a new position may only be sent to NYSE or Amex as part of a basket order..." Anyone know what is the reason? Thanks in advance, Jaime

Thanks Bob! Still can buy ten QQQQ shares @ mkt.

RCJ, SPY was just an example. I need a robust way to trade ETFs. It could be any on the 670 ETFs listed on US exchanges. As far as I know there are ETFs they are traded only in AMEX, that's why it's important. Best, Jaime

That was through AMEX? SMART works ok.

I just found that AMEX executes small orders if you do through basket trade. I still can't buy 10 QQQQ shares, even on basket trades. Best, Jaime

I tried 10 spy shares through amex and it wasn't executed. Are you using basket orders? Best, JZ

Hi All, I'm experenciencing trading problems with small orders on IB. Where can I find info about this issue? Is there any workaround for this? Best, Jaime
