IB: can't trade Canadian stocks ???

[d9d]

thanks for the link vetten.

heck, i left that order in place for an entire DAY !!

even a dog-slow bureaucrat shoulda been able to get it entered in that time... <grin>

nah, time is not important here.

the market maker simply doesnt bother at all with illiquid stock on the assumption that if somebody wants to sell that stock,
they know where to find him

Quote from vetten:

your bid not showing is quite usual with otcbb stock.
too much is still manually done by the market makers.

if you want market data for the Canadian market, just have a look at www.stockhouse.ca

happy trading
