The solution would be: 1) Beg and pray. Hopefully the dev team will fix the problem ASAP. Allow me to check 'Don't warn me again' on this warning. 2) Give in. Subscribe to its expensive datafeed and double pay. 3) Switch to another broker. I'm a bit worried since someone mentioned IB may...

Continued. No market data fee is going to kill anyone's trading style, but it is always nice if we can keep the cost lower. It is especially useful on the days when we are unlucky and losing. After all that is not the main point of this discussion. The main point whether it should be...

As said in my first post, I'm trading outside the US market. The quote is centralised and I have a third party datafeed. The quotes seen in the third party source is going to be the same (the difference is negligible). If you know the quotes of the stock, it is not blind trading. The fact...

The problem is the three P/L columns use very different basis to calculate P/L? For example some types of P/L don't include commissions and trading costs. Some do. It makes the three P&L not comparable. It further confuses you when you see the P/L of the same type in the Accounts Manager does...

For people who daytrade, I don't think they need to know timeframe longer than 1 day. Two intraday timeframes are good enough. One short is for making order decision. One long is for trend determination. Why do we need more than two? More makes decision complicated and slow you down.

Since Interactive Brokers TWS is awful and Interactive Brokers ChartTrader is awful, I would like to find some alternatives. Is there any good chart ordering platform? Would you recommend one? I don't mind switching brokers if they can offer better order placement via charts, and no persistent...

The target is very difficult to achieve if it has to be at least +1% every week. Wish you good luck. :)

Sorry but you need to specify what you are looking for.

Too bad................. :(

I'm trading outside US market and currently subscribing an datafeed which provides real-time tick data and is integrated with its proprietary full-featured stock monitor and scanner application (for free), so I don't want IB stock data and double pay. However the warning message pops up every...

That is a very horrible story in my opinion. How come IB held your money for so long? It makes me think IB is a wrong choice. Does IB implement this "security" so as to discourage you from withdrawing money?

ChartTrader is just like an infant product which is unsuitable for order placement and management. It is missing many features that a chart ordering platform has. To name but a few, ChartTrader can only display the most basic orders on the charts (Limit order only). It can't display other...

That is very stupid in my opinion. I think the calculation of the P/L has to be consistent across the whole platform. A thumb-down for IB.

Go to casino. Wait for a chance. Ply by probability. Place a bet.
