I heard of IB restricting OTC stocks. I'm in the US and I'm thinking of opening an account with IB over TDA due to TD being super expensive with commissions, and you cannot add liquidity for rebates. On top of that, IB isn't expensive for shares under 1$. Over 1$, you pay 0.0035 per share...

I'm sorry, I just googled what a DTC (Depository Trust Company) is but I have a question: can you give me examples of a few non-DTC stocks? I've been thinking about going with IB but not sure what are some non-dtc stocks. How are we able to tell if they are non-dtc? Thanks

Who do you consider the best if you live within the US? I was going to go with IB but now im not sure if they're better options out there.

I plan to open an account with IB soon and I will be picking their tiered pricing. A great example in difference of pricing (especially the last example) is when you press on the tiered structuring while on commissions, click "Click here for some examples". It is the last sentence in the...

Are you talking about DAS Trader here?

Understandable. I agree that TA's can be a bit iffy. If I did use a TA, I would say VWAP / MACD are the best as it shows the dominance of either buying or selling followed with volume. I try and focus mainly on price analysis followed by support / resistance and a few patterns. As mentioned...

Ahh, is it due to the high volatility as well as manipulation? Are you an intraday trader? And if so, what are your choices for trading? I find gappers are great for people who trade the open. I rarely hold trades for longer than 30 minutes.

I’m talking intraday. I use 1m and 5m charts mainly. I only use 15M, 30M, 4H, and 1D when drawing support and resistance.

What's up everyone, hope you guys are having a green week! I'm a fairly new trader (have been learning / paper trading since the new year) and I have read a few books which gave me the basic knowledge of being able to practice a trading strategy. This includes managing risk / stop loss...

To get a buy / sell options on the right of chart, click "Active Trader" on the right hand side when under the Chart tab. You can click Level 2 to get the bids / asks but I don't think its true Level 2. Click times and sales for the tape. You can make a screen have 2 (1x1) windows or 4...

Actually, TOS allows free real-time data by just opening up an account. No deposit needed (I'm assuming you need to deposit something to keep the account open as they might close inactive accounts). But I am currently using TOS paper trading and I get access to real-time data (no level 2)...

Depends on the commission plan you are on through IB. If you are using the fixed, it can be more expensive with share sizes of 1000+. This is because you can get TOS to lower their commission to 3-4$. For IB, 1000*0.005 = 5$. If you used their tier option, I heard its cheaper as you can...

Nice. Do you happen to day trade or happen to short a little bit? I'm wondering how there shorting is but I think as of now, I might be leaning towards IB using their tiered pricing. Stick with them for at least 6 months and venture out if I do not like where I'm at then. Not 100% positive yet.

Hello Bob, with no disrespect (I see you work with Lightspeed), the reason I haven't considered Lightspeed is because throughout my own research, I haven't seen anyone suggest it as often as IB, TDA, and CP. On top of that, when I google search Lightspeed, most of the reviews are 3-3.5/5 and...
