below. I never had a problem with Long orders. I think ETFs are also
excempt from the uptic rule.
Dear Trader,In response to
your inquiry our programmers have informed me: 15 SECONDS.Sincerely,IB

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
