iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)

I just found out that the IWM is fully electronic where the RUT is still partly open outcry.

The partial open outcry is why I've often had to go quite a ways off of the Mark to buy or sell an option.

Although I have to pay more in fees because the number of contracts is larger for the same amount in a trade, I've been told that I won't have to move much off of the Mark and therefore the added fees are not a big concern.

I'm going to try this out and see if the IWM fills near the mark.

IWM Mar08 Iron Condor 76/77/60/59 Call/Put @ 0.28 (mark = 0.29)
