boots, or others who use IB for futures: I finally got my IB account set up for futures trading, so I now have a backup futures trading account (something everyone should probably have). But I have gotten very used to "one click" trading with the Patsystems J-Trader. There doesn't seem to be anything close to this in the TWS. At a minimum it is "two click", and then only if you want your default settings, and are willing to sell at the bid or buy at the ask. Am I right about this, or have I missed something? How do you guys do your E-Mini order entry on TWS? Thanks. Also, IB appears to support Stop Limit orders on Globex, but I thought these were synthetic orders and are not actually sent to the Globex system. Plus, I know IB has their own unique stop rules. (This can be a good thing, I found out today, since I had set an order to short some QQQ with a stop limit of 24.85. Well, 24.85 was the exact LOD on the QQQ, so I assumed I was short at the low. But the order never was triggered, presumably because there was no ask price at 24.85, only some AMEX MM/Specialist running stops at that price.
