    Does IB allow for feed only?

    I don't think they have a feed subscription only. Open the account with 2k. Then take $1900 out after your account is open. Then your $100 will conitnue to pay for your feed. Are you sure you should be trading when you can't even afford 2k for an account... Good Luck!

    Simultaneous IB TWS acct use question

    Once the first person is logged in, the second person can't log into the same account. Maybe the 2nd person can use the web interface. Or do the Friends and Family Account thing with Multiple Advisors.

    help..TradeStation 8 for daytrading?-your thoughts?

    If you want automation, use TS. If you want cheap commissions use IB. If you need better charts than what IB has, get Medved QuoteTracker or Esignal. If you are a dumbass who needs a broker to hold their hand then you shouldn't be daytrading. I haven't had the need to call a broker more...
