IB STOP LIMITS not reliable

STOP LIMITS are no longer reliable at IB. Three times this week I've
watched price dance all round my STOP LIMIT on SPY without triggering the
STOP. The only way to effect the order was to cancel the STOP LIMIT and
enter a LIMIT. IB will probably say, "STOP LIMITS don't guarantee a fill,"
but there are too many instances of ignoring the STOP LIMIT for this to be
only market dynamics. Means we have to sit there all day watching the
stupid monitor. Keep up the good work IB.
