    More of a bug than a suggestion. The ZN spread currently show -0'285 by -0'285, which is 28.5/32. But one of those should be -0'282 or 28.25/32. Spreads trade in quarters of the 32nds. Likewise, when I view my executions, it show -0'285 when I really executed at -28.25/32.

    Can you add the 2 (for .25/32) and 7 (for .75/32) to both the quote screen and execution reports.

    It would be nice to be able to enter an option volatility and have the TWS calculate a price. So basically you enter the volatility for an option instead of the price in an order

    Go to the TWS online manual and search for volatility trading. You'll find the description of how to do that.

    Thanks not quite what I mean.

    What I would like is the ability to put a bid/offer in using the implied volatility as the parameter so as the spot changes the system changes the price of the option automatically. I realise you can program this via the API, but it would be nice to have it in the TWS

  7. This does not apply to me, but some of my friends.

    Give interest on balances less than $10,000. Currently it is 0%, but imagine if you have a regular IB account which trades actively and a small IRA account which does not trade actively. It is going to be hard for that small IRA account to grow in value without a little bit of help from credit interest.

    Allow default setting for charts (so we don't have to click, click, click to get a chart going). Also, allow settings (like switching from 5 min to 15 minute or 2 minute) to be changed from the graph/chart itself.

    Please tweak the mktscanner so that splits (like FDG today) don't show up.
