IB Bundled or Unbundled

V

Viper101

Hi all,

I'll be starting out trading 100 shares at a time. I wont be holding any position overnight.

With IB bundled 100 shares = $2 round trip.

Will unbundled be cheaper for 100 shares?

I have. I wanted to hear from ppl with first hand experience with this setup so I know EXACTLY what to expect when I place a trade.
 
Well, I don't know about stocks but with unbundled futures I have seen some contracts go up slightly and others go down. Overall, I am saving around 4 cents per contract just by making the change to unbundled. I decided to change to unbundled because I rarely hold overnight positions and can avoid the ten cents/contract fee. Otherwise, I probably would have stayed with the bundled package. Hope this helps.

IB changed execution rules making them a joke of a broker

IB now creates slippage for you because the LAST price on STOP ORDER waits till bid/ask catch up

causing slippage, someone is benefiting from this

and it sure as hell ain't IB clients like you and me

Please chill out with the spamming every thread about IB and this issue. You are complaining about how IB treats CONDITIONAL stops (i.e. stops orders that IB simulates because the exchange does not support them). It has no effect on native stops at the exchange. Therefore, if you do not like how IB treats stops that they implement in their software then do not trade at IB. It took me five seconds to realize what the difference was when I posted a similar question but apparently you still have not.

I you use the SMART routing you can reduce your to to 0.70 for 100 shares on average. Sometimes more sometimes less. It depends if you take (market order or an instantly marketable limit order) or provide (getting hit) liquidity. The difference is the cost/rebate for liquidity depending on where your order gets executed.

lets get this straight

You see NO PROBLEM with Stop order not being executed despite target price reached

I don't think you are very smart

and you see Nothing wrong with IB NOT INFORMING anyone about this change?

tsk tsk tsk

Excuse me, but this is not a new revelation and you keep posting IB's documentation so clearly they are not hiding the fact that SIMULATED stops on TWS have additional criteria. You are confusing the issues between NATIVE and SIMULATED orders so maybe it is you who is not very bright. sorry
 
you know, there's a hundred and seventy-two other IB threads you can spam wit this nonsense since you feel a need to stray outside the original thread you started.

what are your other id's per chance?

You know what mother fucker?
We sure have a problem with the people coming here with no history and bashing on a broker.
Registred july 30, first post against IB and nothing else for 20 more.
No credibility.
Nothing positive, no exchange of information with anyone. get some credibility, built an ET "status" and people will listen.
As far as I can see, you can be a chineese or indian paid 2$ per hour to smash the broker. A kind or reverse marketing if you will. Some sort of spammer^-1
