    Hi!
    one question for Def or Simon from IB-
    i planning to have about 200-300 open orders every day and i need to track a prices and positions thru my app. the current quotes limit is 40 symbols. i read somewhere, that you can ask about increase a limit. is that true? any particular requrements for it?
    Thank you!

    I use Datek for a swing trade account where I don't have to rely on the speed and reliability of my IB intraday account. That is the only thing good about Datek, is their LII quotes for Nasdaq is good and I need the RT tape for IB intraday trades. However, I would never give Datek the amount of business that I currently give to IB. IB is simply the trader's broker IMO.
