Re: "update order" VS "cancel and creating order"
I am convinced - updating is better. Btw, I think updated limit orders are (like new ordes) re-queued into the official orderbook again. But yes, updating is also better for the OrderEfficiencyRatio.

Thanks for the helpful shortcut. 1- This shows number of TWS / API data subscription lines available (which is always same??) and Top Market Data Count (currently being used). 2- It does not show

Re: "update order" VS "cancel and creating order"
Besides all limitations I'd recommend always if feasible to update an existing order. This is MUCH faster than canceling and resubmitting. For cancelation fees, isn't it true that only direct routed

Yes, but I think this only a *recommendation* and NOT a regulation (which, if not satisfied, can punish you in any way). Does anyone has encountered problems when not fullfilling the "order efficiency

Re: "update order" VS "cancel and creating order"

Most other company tickers are working, including GOOGL. I'm going to take a guess that GOOG isn't available because it's owned by Alphabet and is not the parent company. Just a guess...
