    Thanks -- and I see why I had a problem. I typically don't place orders that way. I use BookTrader, mostly futures, but also SPY options. Since the BT is generated from line on boardwatch, it already has an exchange destination.

    I only use SPY ETF if I want to offset an option position vs cash, generally before 9:30 open.

    I will now check-out via IBEOS, after 8 pm, to see bid/offer spreads.
