1. The symbols were GS and TWTR. I`ve subscribed to Nasdaq Level I and the issue has improved somewhat. However, with QT I had the following setup for years: approx. 10-15 stocks streaming real time in the QT portfolio, continously sorteb by Vol%. If I do that in MT the Vol% for some symbols jump up by 20 % or more for a few seconds before returning back to the true level - this messes up the sorting. This behaviour started since IB changed its market data subscriptions a few month back.
2. I have submitted a test order to my advisor account and it went through fine. I did not see a way to specify the allocation mehtod in MT? Eg. IB allocates orders to client accounts based on available equity, percentage based or a fixed ratio.
