The world is always in a technological arms race. It is just the kind of technological arms race that affects how you well you sleep at night.

It fills my heart with warmth that Interactive Brokers does not engage in illicit activity like this, such as front-running, etc. I mean, that's why you did not post what you posted, yes? It was so non-important to you, you started a whole new thread on this issue!


Tell your pal Thomas to bite a chode. You're welcome.

Have a rough day?

It just might be possible I find this tech interesting and posted as others might be interested as well.
 
It would be nice if you could potentially address more pressing issues with your company's software that are raised in the IB dedicated channel...I mean, it's great you express interest in this topic but can you perhaps also attend to the issues users raise with tws? I raised a question and referenced you regarding strange chart behavior in tws.

you need to understand that IB strength is no charts. They are actually
Quite weak. They not gonna change it. I advised earlier remedy via NinjaTrader
 
There's a reason why your 500 share IBM order gets swallowed up in a nano second.

If you want, use limit orders, if not, so it costs you a penny. Either way if you're trading
a 100.00 stock for a penny from home, then you're not doing it right..
