    Hoi

    Yes.....just try to request a chart in TWS...for every ticker that gives a chart..there is backfill as well (it is simply one and the same).

  4. A quick question about cad/jpy. If I leg into this position by using jpy/usd and cad/usd to is interest calculated as if it is one pair or two pairs? In other words how many times is the interst haircut applied.

    Hoi

    It is just the same...You do not "talk" in pairs because you are just moving budgets...so in both cases you will have a CAD-budget (- or +) and a JPY-budget (+ or -)...and both budgets (or exposures) will have their own interest-haircuts.

  6. Thank you Interactive Brokers for providing a consistent 1-2 pip spread on IdealPro for EUR/USD. This is a really fantastic market offering right now! I also like the realtime execution reports that are available on the account management login on the IB website.

    Good evening,

    I have been looking at the DEMO version of the IB software. Could someone from IB tell me if their platform works like an ECN such as Hotspot or Coesfx where you can place orders on the Bid and Ask as marketmakers do?

    Thanks in advance for your reply.
