Why will you struggle to pay $50.00/month with a most garbage buggy software. Unless you have other plan to get in someone's real time account. Because ondemand works only on realtime funded account. I would suggest go and download ninjatrader or sierra chart and use replay utility. Both works...

Why IB will stop ? IB's security risk for IRA accounts is insane and stupid. The margin for commodities trading on IRA accounts is outrageous. F** IB. The margin is 3 times of the regular margin. I am moving to TDA.. I don't mind paying little bit extra comm but I can't stand IB's BS and can't...

TD is expensive for sure, but it depends how much trade you make per month. IF you trade 3-4 trades/day I would recommend self directed IRA.

I don't know what is wrong with all this people. Just because IB offers cheap commission and that's why we have to fall in love with such an unpredictable broker ? IB has stone age platform, the trade doesn't execute on time, I mean slippage . So why fall in love with IB come on guys . This is...

It is simple folks. If someone makes winning trades frequently why will he/she waste teaching others, rather he/she will spend time on trading where there is a potential profit.

I used to use standalone, but got so frustrated because of poor update and silly bugs. The browser based TWS is always the latest. Started using browser based TWS was good until last month, however it takes ages to come up lately after I logged in. Mind you IB platform is one of the poor and...

Mr Dav, I know very well the market data is not available for the paper account that time and that's why TWS displaying ?. however sometime like now I can see paper and live account working properly in the same machine with two instances of tws. It seems like IB is not reliable and...

My laptop is dual core. I don't think single core or dual or quad core matters. The TWS is light weight with JAVA backend. I did run TWS in past in single core pentium system. but it is surprising the price doesn't load most of the time with papertrading account instead displays ? all over the...

I have a live account with IB for 4 years. recently IB implemented that papertrading account can only be launched after live TWS launched. there after I am having all sort of problems with papertrading account. sometimes I see all question marks even though live account is launched with another...

IB doesn't offer pre market data period.... I know MBtrading is working on the premarket data.... I use thinkorswim charts which offers premarket data......

IB is very popular for its worst charts and customer support in the brokers industry. However I use IB because of the dirt cheap comm and easy tax documents. I do have problem of loading charts too. One way to solve the problem is to download ninjatrader software(which is free) and hook up IB...

I had checked out Stealth Alerts looks like a startup product. I don't consider that product as a Enterprise level product yet. Trade-ideas is still the best in my opinion based on price and performance next I would recommend Stockvision.

Thanks thunderbolt for the info, Stockvision does have a great prices on their products. I watched few vidoes, inexpressive.I might buy their products. I am exploring right now Prorealtime which is expensive but heavily customizable for technical daytraders. I use Trade-ideas with brokers so no...

I used both products. Trade-Ideas has more options and versatile and tweaking the scans you can get better and better day by day. I personally interacted couple of people in Trade-ideas and are real good and helpful. I personally run trade-ideas everyday to do day trading/scalping. . Right now...

I heard of Dan zanger from someone. He made money, yap so does lot of great traders, he built his own strategy. and I heard lot of people got burnt badly following his alerts in his chat room. So if you learn patterns and come up with your own strategy and learn how to interpret the chart that...
