IB TWS sucks for Options trading
- Thread starter tigerwu
- Start date
To be clear, the IB / Timber Hill relationship does not bother me.
While I would prefer to be transacting with naive customer flow, hitting Timberland occasionally is OK, if I need to get something done.
Bottom line - the liquidity provided is worth it, and there appears to be price improvement.
That's not a bad thing by any means.
p.s. hey tiger -- sounds like you're also punting vol ;o)

Yeh, been punting vol for the last 10 years on the buy and sell side across the world. I also think IB is not too bad. It's the only one around that provides a decent platform and access to international markets. Timber Hill has great technology. But I am not really playing that game. As long as they contribute to tighter spreads in the market, I am happy. Personally I think you would be crazy to make penny wide markets in anything. But that's just stupid me talking..... haha.

The IB / Timber Hill relationship does not bother me as well. Its the IB policies that result from it that I dont like. Do you understand?
