rmorse, where does the quote you cite come from? Do you have a link? Thanks.
Do you recall where this was stated? I have searched on ET but cannot find mention of such a change in IB's business practice since 2007 when...
Has MB Trading sent a statement to you about it?
Maybe it is the SIPC that's tightening up then. They're facing an SEC lawsuit over Stanford claims and MF Global might be stressing their...
Could it be a rule change at the CME? Any non-IB traders seeing this?
Yeah but if IB's CEO is successful in his effort to get exchanges to hold the orders of HFT firms for 100 milliseconds, then this change at BOX...

Yes, ids.
def, the statement you cite seems to contradict an assertion made in an article about IB in the WSJ....
The MF common stock purchase has been poorly explained by the press and by IB. Without additional explanation it would appear that IB does not...
But buying common stock in MF Global was a proprietary trade, correct? I don't know how IB can state that the company does not proprietary trade.
def, what did I state out of context?
jeb9999, that IB sends options orders to exchanges does not automatically mean that IB is looking for the best fill for you. For example, you...
Occam, you might hear IB claim that they don't internalize on options. This may be correct to some extent in that in order to send an IB...
