Can anyone at IB tell us when native NYSE hidden orders will be supported?

Quote from trader422:

If I'm reading you correctly IBsoft then this sounds like unexpectedly good news ... even though not mentioned previously in this thread, what I and probably most others really want is a "SMART native hidden order" that does the following:

Wherever a normal (non-hidden) non-marketable SMART-routed order would be routed at any given moment in time, the hypothetical SMART native hidden (non-marketable) order would be routed to the same exchange(s) at the same time(s), provided that exchange has a native hidden order type (otherwise it would go to the "best" exchange as decided by an IB smart algorithm).

Is this what we've got coming (or if not, precisely what is it you are referring to)?

The smart routing decision will be made in the same way as it is currently done for all visible venues, except only the subset of venues that supports native hidden orders will be eligible.

e.g.
- say that the visible smart currently decides on the following preference of venues: VEN1, VEN2, VEN3, VEN4, VEN5 ...; this results in the visible order being routed to VEN1

- now assume that only VEN3 and VEN5 support native hidden orders; the smart will route a hidden order to VEN3
 
Ok ... I think I'm in love with IBsoft, but I will not actually propose marriage until it happens ... can someone please post to this thread when this is implemented?
 
--------- now assume that only VEN3 and VEN5 support native hidden orders; the smart will route a hidden order to VEN3---------

which will be ISLAND in 99.9%.customer's problem solved without moving even a a tip of the finger

couple days ago i had a 'pleasure' of installing and using TWS stand alone from scratch. no settings saved.internet was down in our area and i have to use my 10" notebook to close around 50 stock positions in order to avoid another pleasurable feature called 'auto liquidation'.
and what a fun that is..what i suggest you(IB team) to do is to invite someone,who have some experience in trading,but not with your platform and ask him to do the same. give him a list of stocks,prices and specific amount of shares to buy and sell, let him install TWS, open and close 30-50 positions on various instruments. on 10" netbook and see,how long it would take for him to do that. count cursing words during this exercise.
i'm a client o IB for more than a decade..i thought i know your TWS like my five fingers...nope...it took me A FUCKING HOUR to find out how to get my old,simple classic layout. it's so fucked up on so many levels-it's fucking beyond me,how to fuck anyone in his right mind can come up with something like this. the number of things that are annoying,useless or not working or overlaying basic features(such as price ladder by default) is endless.
you doing a fucking great job,complicating things. IB programmers and whoever design this shit are fucking experts in it. keep up the good work folks!

what are you trying to say? i have a room filled with PC's,UPS's and fastest possible internet in our area..10" netbook was bought as a back up like 5 years ago..never use it before this day...shit happens..i get it..but not to such extend,when 10+ years customer can't liquidate his positions,because he is literally lost after clean install of current TWS.

read this post once again..50 positions..even if there is a 1K per position-it's would be a 50K. relax bro..i can afford pretty much ANYTHING..what a fuck is your point? are you are trying to say that i should buy a fucking latest ($1500+)notebook every year? fuck that..fuck depreciating assets..not my style..

I'm curious if the number of f*cks in your posts is related to how much money you won/lost on a particular day. You definitely have an entertaining writing style.

I'd give a trader even more credit if he can make $$ with a Commodore 64 and a carrier pigeon. Keep the IT infrastructure cheap and keep the profits large, I say.

obviously-there is some inverse correlation :)
 
And there's nothing wrong with a Commodore 64, especially with a 300 baud modem.

..

Have to as though .. why so much interest in hidden orders?

I mean, you're asking for shitty queue priority here.

Does this really outweigh the information retention?

Perhaps you're buying the whole company? :confused:
