IB has an awesome sim account. It updates in real time. It's almost like the real thing. But you have to realize that trading a sim account with fake money is not like trading even with small positions. There's no emotion involved. Sim accounts do have some use, but don't overestimate their...

The majority of the people in the world will try to get as much money from you as they can. Whether they're salesman, lawyers, car mechanics, or plumbers. However, these trading courses go beyond that. They're outright frauds. If they really did what they advertise, they would be able to...

After 7 years in the stock market, I realized that I'm an INVESTOR, NOT A TRADER. I hope people can realize which one they are before they lose tons of money. I've also learned to BE CONSERVATIVE. The investing game is about longevity. Not hitting runs. Trying to hit home runs will wipe...

You know what I also found out? IBD is also garbage. It does not work. I was a real fan of IBD until I saw the proof. Fortunately, I didn't invest any real money, it was in Investopedia, which is a great stock simulator site. Anyways, I was very curious to see how IBD's picks would...

I'm gonna put Optimistic on ignore. It's obvious he's a paid promoter for Investools. I find it hilarious how these Investools fans have only a few posts. Let's see how long they can keep the lie going. What Investools and others of its ilk are doing is pure and simple lying...

Actually, scam is the perfect word for these "trading systems". EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE THINGS ARE SCAMS. They know it doesn't work. These people are just preying on the hopes of newbie investors. I hope everyone who buys one of these things and is dissatisfied will complain, so they...

Thanks for the response Jaime. Could you tell me more info about that? There doesn't seem to be much in google on it.

Thanks for your response Sprstpd. I checked the link, and don't think relative order is what I'm looking for. I just want to beat some bid or asks by a penny, so that's not for me. Do you know if API can allow me to automatically beat each bid or asks by a penny? I looked API on TWS help...

I'm not one to play the spreads, but there's this one stock that I'm interested that has spreads of 5 to 20 cents. I'm really at a loss at why the spread is so high, because it's a decent stock (here in Canada) A person could make alot of money if there was a program that could do it...

Does anyone know of any such software that works with IB? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Investools is garbage. It doesn't work. I found this out the hard way. If I had done reading before I bought this garbage, I would have learned that none of these systems work, or they wouldn't be selling it in the first place.
