Is IB a bucket house frontrunner?

look at this screen capture

(download the image so you can see it better)

IB prints 789.70/89.90

Kinetick prints 790.20/790.30

and they actuall trade at those prices with a limit order

If you use IB's data..u get taken for .40$ which is $40 for 1c

IB charges 2$ for 1c then makes $40 by frontrunning---WOW

Kinetick is worth it along with NT

let me clarify

Either IB data is wrong/delayed or Kinetick data is.

Or, perhaps I think I have Real time data on my IB screen
but actually have delayed data and I never knew it.

I entered with a sell at the ASK using Kinetick data and got a $0.40 better fill on TF-06-11

THAN if I trusted IB. Surely IB could not be doing that? They are huge and worldwide.

I would expect that if I entered a market order, I my have gotten the IB quoted price due to frontrunning.

Or maybe not...they should just pass the order to the exchange and I would get the current best price.

So, maybe there is no foul play other than IB data not be worth a CRAP... pardon my French

Hello dcmdp,

Thank you for your post.

To begin, please contact Kinetick support with your username and the name of the instrument to confirm that you are authorized for real-time data and that the data is in fact live.

IB data is aggregated, not REALLY realtime. I do not know about Kinetick, but given how much kvetching goes on in this forum, and how much praise is heaped on ZenFire and Rithmic for their unfiltered data stream, I would venture to say that Kinetick is probably also sending out unfiltered data, especially as Kinetic is actually owned by NinjaTrader. Actually, Kinetick claim right on their front page that their data is unfiltered: http://www.kinetick.com/
