Mr Valley,
 
I think that the MOO orders are not just simple 
market orders. Indeed they are different for the Nasdaq en the Nyse but I guess 
that they have built into the software that the order will not be executed if 
you have to buy or sell at a rediculous price. Not sure how it exactly works but 
I have not seen rediculous transactions yet. 
 
Still I am surprised my short sell KO did not go. I 
can imagine GPM because the volume is not very smooth from day to day. Todays is 
a bad volume day I guess.
 
rgds, Ed

  How 
  can you be assured of getting a short fill on Nasdaq stock when the rules for 
  the Nas market makers are different than the NYSE?
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

  because it's an electronic exchange doesn't mean it happens the way we 
  think.

  class=609052414-17122003>So, in my opinion, there is alot of 
  manipulation - so what you see is not 

  what 
  you get. I think you would have better success on the shorts getting 
  filled on the NYSE - because of NYSE rules.
  (my 
  order - then the market makers)
  The 
  only way I can think of to do that on Nasdaq would be on the exchange 
  traded ones (ones like QQQ - no uptick rule)

    Mr Valley,
     
    maybe this would be interesting for future 
    systems (still to develop :) ) but the system I want to test now is a 
    rotational trading system and it needs a bunch of stocks.

        [amibroker] 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
