  1. IB has the most mind-numbingly complex settings I've very used. You can set how Stop, Stop Limit, Trailing Stop and Trailing Stop Limit orders are actually executed. You would think it's under 'stop settings' right, nope it's under 'Miscellaneous', real descriptive right. If the Trigger Method is set to Default (which it is if you haven't changed it): Stocks use double-tap bid/ask. Cash contracts will use bid/ask. All other contracts will use the "Last" method. The Last method has leeway to trigger up to 0.5% above the ask price or up to 0.5%below the bid price. This 0.5% amount of leeway is subject to change at any time without notice." Oh yeah, baby, what a mess. Seach the TWS online guide for "Trigger Method" for more info.
  2. I watched the video, I enjoyed it. I will parse the information myself by checking it on wikipedia, thank you. Truth and propaganda are two sides of the same coin.
