Hey, everbody can test, see, and confirm it him/herself, just do your own testing. Some have already confirmed it here and also via PM. These are unfair, even criminal, practices by the broker(s). But if even the watchdog authorities are their own people then you can think what happens... nothing... It's so ugly...
If you have a doubts then you can try to connect IB through another software, like for example PT MultiStation and test it.
Enough BS already. Anyone thinking a firm would even have the ability or care about orders that are PENDING submission yet alone do that on a PAPER trading account has a screw loose. The crime here are your false accusations and that no one has been able to remove the screw from your head.
If you are making money I am sure Ninja trader will send your trades to their trading team to front run you. All the brokers to do it. Why wouldn't they? Its free money piggy backing on their profitable traders.
I never had any reason to try it myself but I've heard if you bang your head against a brick wall hard enough, those voices you're hearing will stop. Give it a try will'ya. If it doesn't work the first time just keep trying.
No, no, if the qty is negative (ie. short selling) then of course exactly the opposite happens... And, also It you want to close your position and prepare the mask for it then... exactly in the same moment the price moves against you, because the MM (or the intermediary Broker) moves the price against you.... So your mere going to the order mask has been silently transmitted to the broker and/or MM! We are not talking of sending an order! We are talking of filling/preparing an order... Just imagine!...
Oh yeah I just remembered, you could also try wearing an aluminum foil hat. To keep IB from reading your brain waves on upcoming trades.
Luc, I have worn one( aluminum foil hat) for years and IB has not been able to tap my trade strategies. But I do have someone lurking in my garden, shit!
