OK thanks. Looks like I need to adjust my systems 
for Nyse and Amex stocks. However they give not very exciting results like the 
Nasdaq does. I'm also gathering info from IB at this moment.
 
About your question: I filter out stocks using (C*V 
> 20000000) AND C>10. So I can't really say. Also the number of MOO trades 
I have done is very small at this moment. For these stocks on the Nasdaq I did 
not manage to get a SHORT MOO order. But long MOO orders (on the 
Nasdaq) are plus/minus a few cents so that is not too 
bad.

  Ed, from your post, I gather that you can type in your 
  MOO order on the night before the Market opens the next morning. 
     I heard that you are guaranteed to be filled when you do this on 
  NYSE and AMEX.   
   
  Ed>but I only used them on the Nasdaq and 
  I get a price pretty close to the actual open price when I place a MOO buy 
  order (for small orders). 
   
  Ed, have you noticed  any substantial 
  difference  difference in the Nasdaq fills when you compare higher 
  volume stocks (say MA(V,50)> 1000000, when compared to stocks who's 
  MA(V,50)> 100000.   Later Ron D

    hello,
     
    having a system that seems to work fine is only 
    useful if one can use it in the "real" world. I wonder if there are people 
    using Interactive Brokers (IB) who have solved some practical 
    problems.
     
    first you need to backtest a system using a 
    list of stocks that actually are allowed to be shorted. I have the list so 
    that problem is solved hopefully. How reliable is this list. Is it updated 
    or does one run into stock one cannot short after all. 
     
    Then there is the problem of the orders. Since 
    I use open prices in a current system I am testing I use MOO orders. They 
    are actually designed to be used on the Nyse and Amex but I only used them 
    on the Nasdaq and I get a price pretty close to the actual open price 
    when I place a MOO buy order (for small orders). But SHORT orders were 
    not executed (on the Nasdaq) because the 30 sec time limit was exceeded 
    .....  So I am pretty comfortable with the LONG orders but would like 
    to know how people place SHORT orders at the OPEN with Interactive 
    Brokers,
