Herman,
on my question how I could be assured a list of
stocks to be shorted on the Nasdaq would indeed be triggered, IB
says:
> This will be a difficult task as you will need an uptick at the open.
If a market on open or limit on open order is not filled> in 30 seconds
IB will cancel the order.
but there must be a way to do it but for sure I can
not do it by hand because I have several accounts to work on ..... one woud
think that to buy a stock one would have a similar problem on the
Nasdaq. However ALL my longs were triggered on ALL my accounts.
regards, Ed

wasn't filled, email IB for perticulars (from your TWS). Usually it is either
the uptick requirement of the volume that makes the Short order expire,
sometimes it is an IB error :-)

Interactive Brokers / MOO orders / shorts
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,
regards, EdSend BUG
