I'm trading options in TWS, one option has the bid/ask $0.15/$0.25. If I bid/ask inside the range, the bid/ask doesn't update. Also, there are invisible offers at $0.20, all my bids at $0.2 were executed immediately. I have subscribed to all options data services. Can anyone tell me why bid/ask doesn't update? How can I see all bids/offers? Thanks!
think if you smart route the order is first shown to dark pools. most options are BS priced, so your 20c is fillable.
---one option has the bid/ask $0.15/$0.25. If I bid/ask inside the range, the bid/ask doesn't update.---- what exactly do you mean by that? sounds sort of confusing. very long time ago,when i've traded a large baskets of stocks i had problems with quotes. it was documented here and issue was on my side.. no matter what we tried (with a great help of developers team from IB)-i never got rid of this problem. have no idea,if it's still exists,because currently i don't trade much. it was on the random stocks and random fields aren't up updating properly. high\low updating,bid ask ,last -no. something like that. see if restarting TWS helps. if so-that might indicate a problem on your side.
He entered a limit and it got executed right away by some internal wholesaler. Nothing wrong with the software. Nothing says a limit order has to hit the exchanfe
He could've been traded instantly with some algo that hits bids if x-above theoretical price. That would be within milliseconds, you can't see it that quick. Which broker does OP use?
