Dave, It would be really nice if IB could incorporate autoex status into the quote lines for the various exchanges Good idea. This info could be added to the Best Execution line too by color coding the exchange codes to show auto-ex status. I think I have another one. IB's scheme for loading the various exchange quotes for options is set up to be most efficient for looking at a segment of the complete options chain on a single exchange, or at the "inside market" via BE. Loading up all 5 exchanges is very inefficient because of the way the table is organized. Plus, having all those quotes on your screen uses up a lot of real estate. My idea is to be able to pull up a quote from any individual exchange from the BE line w/o going through all the steps needed when starting from scratch. It could be done by clicking on the summary number to see all exchanges, or the individual exchange code of the one you want to see. Dan
