MILSTAR,

I HAVE REHASHED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. YOUR IMPLICATIONS ARE TOTALLY FALSE. TIMBER HILL'S PROPRIETARY DESK DOES NOT MAKE PRICING DECISIONS NOR GETS ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT FROM IB CUSTOMER FLOW. IB'S CLIENTS GET NOTHING LESS THAN THE BEST AVAILABLE PRICE (INCLUDING PRICE IMPROVEMENT WHEN POSSIBLE) AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ALL ORDERS ARE ROUTED DIRECTLY TO THE EXCHANGE WITH THE BEST AVAILABLE PRICE. I'LL GO STEP FURTHER AND STATE THAT I AM HIGHLY CONFIDENT THAT IB's OPTION EXECUTIONS ARE SECOND TO NONE.

IS THIS LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!!

In my experience, if I submit a non marketable order, it appears on BOX, PHLX, or CBOE. I've never had a price appear on Tradestation that I could not get on IB. In addition, like I said, I got 3 straight price improvements not long ago (i.e. I submitted limit orders above the bid/below the ask and got a fill at an even better price).

My experience with IB is measured in months, not years, but I've been really impressed.

If only they added historical Execution queries to the API, and showed actual symbols in the statements, it'd be perfect. :-)
 
i do alot of leap options and i used to get 30% of my trades with a penny or 3 price improvment with box but the last 2 months no price improvements. but ib is very good on options
