Huh? What could possibly be private about IB explaining to you how their order router works? If there's any actual private info in there, just redact it in your post.

Like I said, just sharing what happened to me. Don't say I didn't warn you.
You are sharing something that doesn't make any sense and you cannot back it up with any evidence.

Any evidence that I want to submit, I would be submitting them to the courts and/or the regulatory bodies, not to a public forum. This is just for discussion only for something that I have observed that have happened to me. Take it or leave it.
This is ridiculous. Just post the text where IB admits "in writing" to holding limit orders in their system. Why would you not post it? The answer is obvious, it doesn't exist.
JSOP is a slanderous lying troll who is paid to shill against IB. Trust me. Don't say I didn't warn you. You want proof? Private information, not going to happen.

No response from JSOP here while he continues to bash IB in other threads. He doesn't respond because he can't; he has nothing to back up his allegations.
You can tell if your limit order is live in TWS by seeing it with a bright green status. If it’s dark blue instead, it’s being held by TWS and may execute only when marketable or maybe not at all. This can happen if you screwed up your order configuration options, such as requesting something that IB or an exchange doesn’t support (not all order types are supported for all exchanges, for example).
That’s the only time I’ve run into the problem JSOP mentioned, and it’s usually a sign you made a mistake. Otherwise, IB’s orders pretty much go as expected and receive the fees or rebates as advertised.

No I have seen my limit order status color as bright greens with no mistake and does not show up in the DOM or being delayed in sending to the exchanges because they were held in IB's servers as not marketable. It happens more often in options but it happens to both options and stocks. And trust me if IB wants to accuse me of slander, I have evidence of what they stated in writing that they hold limit orders in their servers until they are marketable that I would gladly submit to the court and it would certainly attract attention of regulatory bodies like SEC, NFTA/CFTC in USA and other regulatory bodies around the world which I am sure IB would not want. It certainly would not be the first time that IB runs afoul with regulatory bodies.
Anyway, I am out of IB and glad of it. I warned you what IB is doing, you don't care, you still want to stay with them, that's your choice, your money, your profitability. For those of you who are working for IB posting here, shame on you, the least you can do is get yourself a "Sponsor" label so we can all be aware of your intention instead of hiding behind anonymity promoting your company's service. I would actually speak to the mods about that.
Ok, well I don't know as much about options. For stocks, the only times I recall green status live orders not being sent out to the exchanges as I expected were due to a price cap issue, so they went out but at a less aggressive limit price than I specified. You get a warning (actually lots of them, typically, unless you turn that off), and can see an indication icon in the green status that this is happening.No I have seen my limit order status color as bright greens with no mistake and does not show up in the DOM or being delayed in sending to the exchanges because they were held in IB's servers as not marketable.

Post your evidence now, or stfu about it. If you won't post it, it doesn't exist.

Wait a minute.. so IB would not want you to post your evidence, but also your critics on here are secretly working for IB, and asking for you to post your evidence. Your paranoia isn't even logically coherent.
EDIT: he deleted the post I quoted, restoring my quote boxes by unlinking the post IDs
