Re: question about server support and login best practice

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

Re: "update order" VS "cancel and creating order"
Is this what you were looking for? *Modifying* or *cancelling* " *directed* " API orders incur fees. SMART routed orders do not. But executions get you credits so you only actually have to pay fees if

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
