I use IB and I've had no problems with NYSE market orders after 3:40PM. Had fills as late as 3:59:45 this week. MOC is the only order constrained...
I agree with Smitty. I send everyone looking for investment advice to Bob with the caveat to avoid his "trades" or specific stock recommendations....
Just because Esignal works and IB doesn't does not automatically mean IB is bad. Last year I had the opposite problem, Esignal lagged IB by...
Puffy, Yeah I could do that, but then I'd feel obliged to take in a Cubs game, which isn't possible. Swing batter batter swing! The public...
I'm going to be in Chicago around the 23rd of Feb. Anyone with access to the CME or CBOT floor willing to give me an insider's tour? I'll buy...
If you're trading NYSE stocks through IB, note that there are restrictions. Generally speaking, odd lots with limit orders are not routed to NYSE....
I've had a bad trade busted on ISLD premarket. Someone was flashing between 20.40 bid and 23.40 bid. I hit 23.40 (I thought) and hit transmit...

Regarding Moab a few pages back. Visiting that place is awesome (I go there to mtn bike at least once a year), but living there? NO WAY! You are...
