Careful - IB cfds

Have to call shenanigans trading ESTX cfds just now.
I was bidding 3182.01 and I saw a 3182.00 ask 2 times, while my bid mysteriously dissapeared.
In the end I got filled though.
(I have to say that I got filled at 3182.0 so a cent better than my bid)

Isn't that how bestex should work? My guess: Your order on a back to back transaction is posted on an exchange, another exchange posts a better offer, they cancel the back to back order on the first exchange and lift the offer on the second. The CFD quote would get canceled and replaced in that instant.
 
EW: I don't know what you are talking about?

My submitted and active bid was higher than the ask so i expect to get filled

yes but if after Hours perhaps you were on one exchange and a better offer was on another. They cancel and try to hit the offer on the other exchange. They swing and miss the first time but you get it the second. ie. another broker may not be honoring bestex after hours. Just a guess but who knows. The cool thing of course is you get a better fill.
