Hi. Amateur question here.
I've been 'messing around' with stocks abit, using TradeKing.
Recently I had the chance to see Interactive Brokers in action and the question is this:
In TK, when you buy a stock, say GOOG, you simply... click buy.
In IB, you can choose the exchange.
Example:
GOOG Stock SMART USD NMS
GOOG Stock ARCA USD NMS
and so on.
What is the difference? What is going on that I cannot see in TK?
Pardon the ignorance,
Dane
