I just started back trading after the holiday. I recenly had problems with fills on the trader workstation. I posted a message here, and got some good information. I was getting filled on the entry, how ever half of my exits would never execute. I thought since I was trying to chase price on the exit with a limit order, that was why I wasn,t getting filled on the way out , until price stopped and I rentered my order.and price would jump back to my limit. I have since readjusted the order to a limit+4. I just did a trade, and the same thing happened. I took 4 miniutes to get filled finally after canceling 3 times. Why would it fill me on the way in, but not on the way out? Needless say, this really puts a sour taste in your mouth for IB. The first place, it doesn,t make sense. unless something is misadjusted or missing from the platform . Come on guys, help me think here I. Please don't suggest that I write IB again! even though I have. Thanks John
What are you trying to trade ? EXACTLY what was your order ? When do you think it should have executed ? Please try to be as specific as possible,
ib is direct access. if you are best you get filled.its not ibs fault. you are doing something wrong. what route are you using? give us exact details on the trade so we can comment.
