TWS Notes v10.21
Add Options Liquidity with IBUSOPT Destination
Clients who trade US options can now choose to direct route their options orders to IBUSOPT to participate in the retail order flow for US equity and index options. Orders routed to IBUSOPT will be held at this liquidity-providing destination, and will be eligible to participate in an exchange auction to potentially fill against other SMART-routed marketable orders from IBKR clients. Note that there is no guarantee that orders routed to IBUSOPT will fill.
To route a US equity or index options order to IBUSOPT from Mosaic, set up the order in the Order Entry panel and open the "advanced" panel to select a new destination. Once you have selected IBUSOPT as the destination, available order types will be shown in the dropdown. Find out more in the IBUSOPT order types page.
