IB orders go blue

Quote from heilbronner:

And you never really know if Timber Hill is taking advantage of clients order information.

My stops were hitten that often with IB in the futures that I can hardly think this just happened due to bad luck.

I have no problems with my NQ orders with IB. I have my stop limit orders residing in Globex anyway.
 
As posted on another thread today, the problem with the globex spikes should be resolved now (i'm pretty sure a fix went in today and if not it will go in over the weekend). The issues from the 5th were actually human error related and the procedures that have been changed.

IB doesn't trade against customer flow. The problems were not network or growth related and hopefully will be resolved.
 
Quote from PuffyGums:

You should get some facts straight. IB is not trading against the customer flow in futures. In futures, it is against the regulations to trade off the exchange (unlike stocks where that is OK).

Futures orders can only be filled through the matching engines of the varioius exchanges or on the floor. For any broker to bucket an order and not post it to the floor or to the matching engine is a severe violation and is certainly not happening.

You are taking a model of stock trading and incorrectly mapping it onto what you think is happening with futures.

I don't have to get some facts straight. As I have been a derivative trader and a market- maker in Frankfurt I have a slight idea about what should be right and what is actually going on in the industry.
If you think everything is according to the rules, I wish you good luck, puffy. :p
