Hello again Michael. Thanks again for the tip on IB. I spent most of yesterday and today going over the demo and read through the IB thread here at SI and also at Yahoo. The feedback has all been very positive. I am going to take care of the paperwork and process an account application today! I assume that the data in the demo version is delayed in some way? The time I was on and trying it today, the market has been so flat that it is hard to tell... Several people on the discussion threads mentioned problems with the market data falling behind the actual market (as shown on an outside market data feed) on the TWS platform. However, they went on to say that the order system is independent of the market data and fills will match the data as shown on a reliable outside market data feed. I run a RealTick III setup for market data. I just wanted to confirm that this is indeed true...i.e. I should watch market data on my RealTick setup and place orders on IB, regardless of what the IB market data says? Thanks. Chris.
