I just discovered this change today and came to ET to see if anyone knew anything about it. I'm not happy that IB snuck this in without telling...
I guess my question wasn't clear. I understand what the order type is supposed to do. (I agree with kostia00's explanation.) I don't...
I have a spread I'd like to trade at IB. It appears that, if a spread order isn't supported natively by an exchange, then IB's standard spread...
I looks like you guys missed the target date by a just a little bit. Any update on offering TIPS?
There are a lot of things I find frustrating about shorting through IB, but this isn't one of them. Of course you have to pay on the current...
