IB Short on NASDAQ instant execution?

C

coolweb

Hello,
I just shorted AAPL a few minutes ago on INTERACTIVE BROKER and it gave me almost INSTANT execution.

My other broker which will remain unamed took over 4 minutes to get me short on AAPL


So is this unnamed broker retarded or is IB just a direct access broker who can get me short all the time?

Few weeks ago i shorted aapl on IB and what happened to me
is that my limit order got filled (25cent profit) on lets say 70.55
but there is no way that market was that low because i look
on nasdaq level 2 window all the time and when you look on 1 min chart low was 70.70
Funny because aapl starts to move up and when i decide to cover at loss i was pleasantly surprise there is nothing to cover
