    Are you routing via Smart route or are you using direct route? If the latter, what are your preferred exchanges?
    Most of my orders are sent to CBOE with the occasional SMART

    I saw your discussion about SMART vs direct route. I had not noticed IB direct route before. It still involves 4-5 steps to create and send the order.

    Currently most of the spreads are pretty liquid. Yesterday MS strangle was at the most 2 cents wide. I am using SMART so far, but in the future I will keep in mind direct route for any complex order.

    No, Most of them are fairly priced. Only KSU, ORATS says underpriced but I am not so sure from the past returns

    Option quotes/reporting is down here in Tahoe. Anyone else having problems with OPRA? Perhaps it's just IBTWS.
