Are you routing via Smart route or are you using direct route? If the latter, what are your preferred exchanges?
Most of my orders are sent to CBOE with the occasional SMART

 

[srinir]

I saw your discussion about SMART vs direct route. I had not noticed IB direct route before. It still involves 4-5 steps to create and send the order.

Currently most of the spreads are pretty liquid. Yesterday MS strangle was at the most 2 cents wide. I am using SMART so far, but in the future I will keep in mind direct route for any complex order.

Long the AAPL Feb1/Feb8 162/167 call diagonal from -0.70 marketable. This spread trades at a debit after earnings. I am predicting a $0.10 debit during the day session after the release.
