Yes.....just try to request a chart in TWS...for every ticker that gives a chart..there is backfill as well (it is simply one and the same).

Quote from TGM:

IB,

Why don't you offer CAD/JPY?

A quick question about cad/jpy. If I leg into this position by using jpy/usd and cad/usd to is interest calculated as if it is one pair or two pairs? In other words how many times is the interst haircut applied.

It is just the same...You do not "talk" in pairs because you are just moving budgets...so in both cases you will have a CAD-budget (- or +) and a JPY-budget (+ or -)...and both budgets (or exposures) will have their own interest-haircuts.
 
Thank you Interactive Brokers for providing a consistent 1-2 pip spread on IdealPro for EUR/USD. This is a really fantastic market offering right now! I also like the realtime execution reports that are available on the account management login on the IB website.
 
Quote from Hoi:

Great news..It looks that DeutschBank is quoting on IDEALPRO from this day on...they insert 15 Mio at Bid and Ask in EUR/USD (and also all other majors are clearly showing more volume).

This has immediately a narrowing effect on the spread, because I can see 1 pip again (from time to time) in the EUR/USD (see this screenshot, which is taken at 3:30 in the morning EST).

GOOD job IB ! :) :)

Gotta love DBKFX!
 
Good evening,

I have been looking at the DEMO version of the IB software. Could someone from IB tell me if their platform works like an ECN such as Hotspot or Coesfx where you can place orders on the Bid and Ask as marketmakers do?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
