    Quote from day/swing:

    Ofcourse, you are the smart one for posting broker reviews in the Psychology section

    you should start before a journal with the best pre of the day.
     
  4. OK delete this thread. Is not working out.
     
  5. Can you explain what you mean I am very slow.

    Do you have a limit order or a market order or what?

    I see these IB orders:

    DEF
    MKT
    BOX TOP
    STP
    STP LMT
    TRAIL
    TRAIL Limit
    TRAIL MIT
    TRAIL LIT
    REL
    REG MID
    VOL
     
  6. You are saying that trades are being executed at your stop price before the BID/ASK gets there but you are not being filled.

    Is this correct? I trade very liquid futures. I can't comprehend this situation. Can you give me a detailed example. I have traded options and I have seen a very thin market there. Kinda getting what you are saying but not entirely.
     
  7. Is your STOP at 24.04?

    What if there are others in front of you. Is MSFT on NASDAQ? Does it matter if a stock is on NASDAQ vs NYSE?

    yes if stop is at 24.04 you get screwed

    and IB's TimberHill pockets the change probably

    no it doesn't matter NYSE or NASDAQ this is internal scam by IB

    I am sad about this, I traded with IB without problems for years
