I normally do not trade stocks.

Today twice I hit the ask and miraculously both times I didn't get filled and the price immediately jumped.

Someone at IB care to explain this?
 
It's as if the person/bot posting decides whether or not he wants to fill it - and if he doesn't like it then the ask magically dissappears.

Again I don't trade stocks - but this is total fucking nonsense.

Who's your quote provider?
 
same shit every single day. been saying this for years. tell you more-look at the execution place. i bet -it was "smart"(mean IB sold you from their inventory) and not an actual exchange. isn't ?

I don't know about your problem but IB has gone dark side on us

Everything stated when IB defined last trading price as


1--One last price value must be greater than (less than) or equal to the trigger price

2--The exchange or other market center where the order is to be executed must also publish (and the system must also receive) an ask price equal to or higher than, and a bid price equal to or lower than, the trigger price.

3--Last must be within the bid/ask (i.e. >=bid and <= ask) or within leeway percentage outside the bid/ask (i.e. >=bid-0.5% of last and <=ask+0.5% of last)

The Last method has leeway to trigger up to 0.5% above the ask price or up to 0.5% below the bid price. This 0.5% amount of leeway is subject to change at any time without notice.

Entire definition in Bold is what IB defines last traded price.

It is hilarious, even though I still use IB for 1 of my accounts, this is hilarious

Where is this mentioned? :(
 
Yeah, looks like IB is hard to beat. That's what i gathered so far from the majority. You'll still get negative reviews since you cant please everyone all the time.

Have a look how IB feeds timberhill trading division at your expense as a client.

IB has gone dark on us few years ago.

IB went from being a good Jedi to Lord Sith in disguise

You're a complete idiot. Evidently you don't know how to read. First, this has nothing at all to do with Timberhill.

Second, this is a description of how each of the "trigger" methods for stop orders works. It is not a definition of last price. It tells you what the conditions must be for a stop to trigger by the various methods that you could elect for your stops.

Sheesh.
