What's the significance of "exchange" for an instrument?
I've already learned (the hard way) that if your exchange is not set correctly, then with IB, your order will be set permanently as "pending".. never rejected or anything else. So, I've been manually making sure my NYSE stocks are NYSE, Nasdaq are Nasdaq, etc, etc.
But what about ISLAND, ARCA, etc? If I don't select ISLAND, does that mean IB will not route to the ECN? Is NinjaTrader only routing to the specific exchanges that are selected for an instrument?
I just assumed SMART would be used as the routing method... if it isn't, how do I select it??
