I traded Bitcoin with IB now and it is working fine.

Yes, My orders adds to bid/ask, but it's not easy to get the moving direction from that.

By fake I meant the number will be 600 and next second it will be 60, even though no trade has been made. It fluctuate widely, before I can come to a conclusion. (Not all times though, but hard to know when I am right/wrong)

Is level 2 on futures are useful? I personally find there were fake numbers being put on over them.

Its Increased again 8502.80 now. Wow!!!

Can any one please help me in understanding when the ES trading hours gets closed tomorrow (holiday). And when the next session starts. I am not able to understand the below schedule from CME.

Will ask about thinkorswim. Still waiting for tasty to enable futures trading.

No, they need separate accounts and separate funds

Does any body knows of an other brokers who support trading of stock and futures in a single account Like IB does.

Thanks for the link. I feel they are bit expensive for me. I was going through some of the companies below, please let me know if you have any recommendations. http://www.tradelogsoftware.com/ http://www.traderstatus.com/trader.htm http://daytradertax.com https://www.taxact.com/...

That helps! Filing tax seems more complicated than learing to day trade. In addition to so many forms, Trade Station is classifying my SPY options as 1256 but IB says it is regular option trade and says only futures are 1256. I thought long term gain/losses needed to be atleast 1 yr.

Thank you for the clarity. I am still confused why BX is treated as such and how would I know this before I trade a new Symbol. Thank you for your help!
