The fills that I am getting are terrible

  1. lol, you talk about slippage like you're entitled to the price you see.

    You're using the same signals as the other guy to get out and missing the print.

    You can easily get any price you see, just be the first to take it. Not the last.

    Or trade a $1 stock with 200k bid/offer each side, you probably wont get much slippage .

  5. Now, that would be interesting wouldn't it. You would need Buffett's kind of money just to enter the orders, LOL.

  6. Few days ago I had a limit ask order at .49, saw prints at .50 and .51 going throug, but my order wasn't filled.

    These co-located pro's are so smart..

  7. Do not rely on IB T&S to investigate your fills: IB data feed is a complete joke. It has the tick compression and gets broadcasted every 200ms or so.
