I was trading: SPX and OEX today. I bought OEBMP and SPTMJ today.... I swear that after watching the market for 4 hrs I didn't see more than 15-20 trades go through....

The more that I think about this the more that I realize that this is a problem with IB... Does anyone have any suggestions? IS there a limit on the number of tickers that I can be running at the same time? Is IB always this bad? If they are then I have to seriously consider finding another broker....

Thanks for your help!

I do not have the official scoop, but I think IB only sends price updates once per second.
