Hi: IB just came out with functionality in their latest API (975) that allows for new market scanners. Although it works in the new sample...
I will give you my two cents. Like you said it was about .20-.25 cents and then all of a sudden it popped. The arb was to buy the LLY...
yes very good observations in this thread. This is one of the "hidden" ways brokers make money off your positions. Longs and Shorts are...
