I learned my lesson years ago, you are always dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. You are only a hero until the next trade when they don't place a stop loss and you are at fault. Never mind how much money they made on your recommendations in the past. Now IB has a "family account" which...

Of course you have experienced this with both IB and Fidelity so evidently my experience is different from yours.

I am doing this for my immediate family therefore trading IB with 7 accounts as "family accounts" and 3 accounts with Fidelity. It isn't a big issue as long as you have authorization from the individual via a Form and Power of Attorney for that account (all thru the brokerage). Every quarter I...

Anyone else having this problem, since replacing data from IB to Sierra data stream including Denali, Sierra has slowed down considerably. (slow down from chart to chart, changing daily to minutes is quick, but I do have 30 charts per book with 4 charts available on the screen.). I have no...

I would double check, I have had IB for 10+ years and have never worried about T+2. Years ago spoke to them and they indicated that they circumvent the at that time T+3,by not offering a sweep account or money market. Since I am trading 6 accounts combo IRA's etc plus brokerages ,I use CEF...

I have i7 32Gb, Gygabyte Motherboard , 2 SSD's one hard drive, and two video cards (nothing special) and 3 Monitors LG, ASUS, Samsung 32" (3440X1440) and one (1920X1080) . I actually have been building my own computers for years . In the process of building a new one , this one is a few years...

Bottom line, went away from IB data, which is great in the sense that I don't need to get into my account. It has a lot of gyrations to get their (Sierra Download) plus Denali, but now it is worth it. My major issue with most programs is I need clarity, high pixel count, on the charts, plus i...

Ib user for 9+ years, Sierra for a few years. Just had issue with incorrect IB data, and correct EOD but incorrect 1 to 3 minute charts, also limited to 100 symbols with IB stream. Ended up using Sierra (bar chart stream + denali, past three weeks) documentation extremely poor, plus still have...

Yes two versions, the one shown is the earliest version and the newer one has everything under the sun. My only complaint is a poor fibonacci with retracements vs projections. But it is my goto program for scanning, and visually you cannot beat it. This isn't a tradeable platform like Ninja...

Confused what would you like me to elaborate on? Blue 9 White 18 Red 30 day EMA's. Looking for French Flag, My notations is for Xdividend 5% Monthly .20 cents. Gain of 2.3% for the day and actual Dividend is now 6.49. The bottom line is I am working with 10 accounts and handle around 60-80...

this is TC2000K been using them for 12+ years, and this is their original program. I am extremely visual and always look for the nuance in 1- 3 minute charts and they look very much like the above. Bottom line best I have seen. I also use Sierra but now looking for another program to...

Help, in the past two weeks have had nothing but issues download lag time, incorrect charts, prices etc. This is from Sierra (basic package) and IB download, I found out that I am not alone, multiple issues that I evidently need to change data download to Sierra. I am totally confused, all I...

Bottom line, the server farm was affected, although what is scary is evidently Robin hood is using the same farm. I am still down as of 4:00 on a family account, although a separate IB account I use for data was active as of 11:30AM. They did indicate that if stop losses were compromised than...

Presently I am a day trader, swing trader, and investor. I am handling family accounts via IB, and a few via Fidelity and need software help. I have 10 accounts from brokerages to IRA's for various family members, my charting software is TC2K for scanning and at the present using TC2K for...

Yes, I figured expandability would be one of the prime considerations where I'm limited w/ a laptop. E.g. i use a high-end gaming laptop w/ 32GB DDR ram, but I suppose I wasn't sure whether the boost to 64GB-or-beyond (not possible in my machine) would be a noticeable upgrade for my purposes. I...

I have IB for the past 10+ years, never utilized their charting program which reminds me of Sega circa 1990's without the music. Presently very happy using Sierra with IB data (note limited to 100 symbols) although can also use another IB account for a separate Sierra platform without paying...

Just noticed your post, as an FYI used to be part of this group but now living in FL. Check out Denver Trading Group, excellent used to get the best traders in the world mainly because of Denver, winter Skiing, and summer Camping , Hiking etc..Should add used to have seminars mini and full blown .

Look at a very simple program Worden TC 2K, I use this for scanning and this can be done in real time if needs be. PCF's personal criteria formula's, Price is > $20 and Volume AVG 12Days> 1MM and Money Stream declining( every imaginable ) scenarios you can do including scanning for...

I though I would find you malcontents under fidelitysucks.com, anyhow, have been using IB for 14+ years and new to Fidelity. For the past year due to in law issues have taken over the acct. and since its a family trust have little choice but to accept Fidelity at this juncture. I cannot...

Look the bottom line is IB is your best bet. I have been using IB for the past 12 years, the problem with them is minimal customer service, they expect you to know what you are doing. The major drawback is their Charting is from another era, think Sega 1990's, keeps reminding me of my kids...
