Futures spread order (special focus on IB)

  1. Hi All,

    I just check my fees and it seems that I spend a lot in it ! It also quite obvious for me that the liquidity or bid/ask cost is even higher ! Then if I get a better execution, I could increase my gains by a lot !

    So I would like to open a new topic on non native spread on futures. How to get the best execution ?

    On IB, I just began to use LMT+MKT orders to spread CBOT Corn & Wheat. There is also a lot of different ordre I can use like REL + MKT or TRAIL REL + MKT or TRAIL + LMT.
    Do you any experience on these orders ? Any comments ?

    Do you accumulate/distribute or scale trader if you have big volumes to trade ? Any comments ?

    Thanks !
