IB Pricing Question

[sjfan]

There is nothing wrong at all for someone who's used to dealing with very liquid markets to ask about trading tactics around very illiquid markets.

There is, however, something vaguely ethically fishy when a moderator start a thread with controversial statements with the explicit intent to drive up page view and response.

Quote from oraclewizard77:

No, it was a real question on why it happens since I usually trade futures and even on market orders, there is very little slippage, and bid / ask is normally not larger than 1 tick. Was the title of the thread a little outrageous? Yes, I don't really believe they are ripping me off, but I take creative license to generate responses to my thread.

Yes ..... Keep in mind that the option quotes are delayed 15 minutes, but they have real-time stock quotes. It's easy to figure out were the option prices are heading.

Oh please.

I think you answered my question the best, but I think you are a little sensitive. I did NOT ever state that IB WAS ripping me off. It was in the form of a question. If you work for them and they are offended, then I am sorry. My goal was not to drive up page views, but to generate response.

By the way, I am closing the thread now, since I don't think there are going to be better responses.
