Version77, I just wanted to point out that when placing stop orders via Terra Nova Online on Archipelago (ARCA - offers Stop Market, Stop Limit, and Trailing Stop Orders on Listed and Naz Stocks).

I didn't realize you could use ARCA when trading listed stocks.
I have always sent my orders to the NYSE...
 
If I'm not mistaken IB is also a large equities trader and your competitor, and they know where everybodys' stops are, and you don't.
 
I think IB is not allowed to use this information.
Anyway, the support for ARCA is better with other brokers because I remember IB has restrictions on the ARCA order types you can use.
