4:1 all the time is excellent! That will probably allow me to remain retail . I haven't received notice though, and the requirements on my TWS still show a larger requirement for overnight.
On a similar note, I use to get fills on my Globex stops occasionally a 1/2 point beyond my stop. Lately, all my fills are at, or occasionally 1/2 point better than my stop! And this even in fast markets. I thought they changed the algorithm for stops, but maybe faster servers?
Not to push this thread farther than it should go, but my fills today resulted in net positive slippage of two points on the NQ emini, on 11 round turns. Previously, I would suffer about 2 points of negative slippage on a normal day of 11 trades. Did IB get their stops on the Globex servers maybe? I've had this good experience the last 3 days.
