    TradeStation Q & A

    Do you mean I cannot get a GTC order at all ? (I need to manually refresh it every day assuming I would like the order to stay there ?) How about the shaving prices ? Can I enter a buy limit 45.499 in stead of 45.50 Thanks

    TradeStation Q & A

    Perhaps a bit off topic, but I'm considering switching from IB to TS. Does TS allow me to shave prices ? (for example buy limit $35.498 in stead of $35.50 ) Thanks in advance.

    Conversions / Bullets

    Conversions / Bullets
