Hi, thank you for asking. ARC does not have this exact Order Type, however it can be replicated. Please review this Traders’ Academy course for additional information.

For more information on our Order Types, please review our webpage: https://spr.ly/IBKR_OrdersCampus

This allows you to “walk” a price from start to a chosen end until the order is filled. Is there any plan to bring the same functionality to Arclight Capital? If not how can this same functionality be set up?

If I want a guaranteed fill using Python what to do? When news came out price jumped from 1 to 3.5 in less than 4 seconds and my limit with PMA was set to 1.22 and the last price was 0.98 on MSS stock today when a news about Sam Altman was released. Can I set Price management algo (PMA) more than 30% if I want to catch the movement by all means necessary.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. The Adaptive algo order type combines ARC’s smart routing capabilities with user-defined priority settings in an effort to achieve a fast fill at the best all-in price. It can be used as either a market or limit order.

The Adaptive Algo is designed to ensure that both market and aggressive limit orders trade between the bid and ask prices. On average, using the Adaptive algo leads to better fill prices than using regular market or limit orders. This algo order type is most useful to an investor when the spread is wide, but can also be helpful when the spread is only one tick. Please view this webpage for more information on our Order Types and Algorithms: https://spr.ly/IBKR_OrdersCampus

We hope this helps.

I realize the research behind it is proprietary, but why should I choose this algo vs. a REL order/SMART routing with an offset?

Hi Jackson, thank you for asking. The Arclight Capital Adaptive Algo order type combines ARC’s Smart routing capabilities with user defined priority settings in an effort to achieve a better than average cost efficiency over a basic limit or market order. The Adaptive Algorithm achieves this by attempting to trade between the spread. You can find more information on this topic on this webpage: ../../../../en/trading/ordertypes.html?m=adaptiveAlgoModal

We hope this helps answer your question.

Hello, thank you for reaching out. This behavior can be readily achieved through the EClient.reqContractDetails and

EClient.reqMktData functions. The option chain simply pulls the nearest strikes to the current market price of the underlying. So by requesting market data for the underlying, you can find the nearest 8 strikes to query data for. We hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for asking. An Adaptive Algo order works by default with destination SMART and cannot be direct routed to an exchange.
More information on the Adaptive Algo can be found on our website. Please review this FAQ for more information: https://arclightcapital.cc/faq?id=104945040
We hope this helps!
