I believe IB sends 4 updates per second, and your indicators will update once a second, regardless of the volitility. Now if it takes you 3 seconds to fill, it will always take 3 seconds to fill, and that could cause more slippage if prices are more volatile - which I can't comment on. It would be interesting to see people's average time to fill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
