Hi, Just want to add: Missing level one data problem is back again. This time I've noticed it on globex calendar spreads and Singapore futures. Usually it goes worse overtime, so we might expect more market quotes disappearing soon... Regards,
2c .. IB's strength is venue routing and API. Please guys, no need to spend developer time on the TWS UI. Just freeze it, and make sure the datafeeds & connectivity work all of the time.
don't know,who to blame here(market infrastructure,SMART routing, TWS,IB..whatever),but such execution is a joke got some leftovers to sell(see 1 share execution thread) selling 100 shares of this junk AT bid took IB 11 painful seconds to execute. first 34 executed at smart,rest-on island.. this is how we(retail traders) roll these days..excellent,really smart routing! i'm happy to pay 3 times to execute 1 simple lot of 100 shares!
If I have 111 shares of stock and I try to hit a bid, what usually happens to me is that I get filled for 11 shares - i.e., just the odd lot portion - even though the bid that I was hitting was 200 shares or great. I don't know how this happens but it's irritating. I have to keep on reminding myself to sell the round lot portion first and then try to dump the odd lot portion. But I shouldn't have to do that.
one more time-please either disable it or add a button for it. the way you did it-it's ridiculous... you don't trade-you login into account-buttons and features you use-GONE. to add more pain for the customer-when i clicked on "add more buttons"-the ones that i need to add-they aren't there! Thank you very much! it's was really helpful!
all sort of disconnections today and couple on friday like one account is lost data,while another (on same PC working fine) same thing on charts-one account showing the data just fine and another one-red mark-disconnected. they are short,but they are out there
I am having disconnects today also, brother Bob. Unusual. It disconnects, then immediately comes back on. Hasn't happened for about ten minutes or so, though.
IB - The new market data on GLOBEX spreads is great (now TWS shows last/high/low in addition to just bid/ask). I was seeing the same for the ICE spreads (COIL.WTI) the past few weeks but now it's not displaying anymore. Any idea why it randomly seems to appear or disappear certain days?
Backend change for ICE spread is being rolled out; it is not yet fully released, and that's why you observe that it works sometimes, and sometimes it does not, give it some time to roll out. GLOBEX and CFE are fully rolled out.
Thanks dst - Appreciate all your hard work on native futures spreads this year, the suite of offerings has gone from poor to top notch.
