I use it in most of my orders (options and stocks) and i'm quite sure that the few orders where I've gotten a rebate (positive commission), or crazy low commission had the ibalgo instruction on it. As other user replied it doesn't work for spreads but the fills in general are fantastic in IB...

Thanks for the heads-up! I was absolutely unprepared for that possibility.

Hello everyone. I got caught in the fever of selling GNUS (Yeah, I know, no need to remind me :banghead:) Puts because of the vol. But after a couple of weeks I got assigned a few thousand of the little bastards as I should have expected from day one. I begun to sell calls against the...

Non duplicated, I can't find the original post.

Thank your for feedback, yeah now I get 100% it and I agree that it's better for getting mechanical. (the buying at negative logic was just the missing piece of information I needed to fully grasp it). My first exposure to spreads was with RH, they made a great job oversimplifying the stuff so...

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback, it's comforting to know that is not just me having a hard time to fully get it (I was totally trapped in the 'I AM weird' thinking for having such a hard time to grasp it). Once I read this a couple of times is that I finally got it (I also had a...

I'm quite sure you haven't analyzed the SP on monthly TF yet.

Thanks again! I was actually missclasified as professional, after days of fiddling the menu I couldn't find the settings for that and now I found it!

Thank you, that's a very valuable information for me since you are not US based. I'll contact support tomorrow to check for alternatives.

So you're telling me you lost the borderline once in a lifetime opportunity the market has offered since April?, you are a very patient person indeed :D

I don't have any data subscription at the moment, and when I launch the subscription data manager that's the minimum/base package showing.

Thank you, that is one of my guesses because the pricing seems to be a bit off, i'll try contacting them.

Thanks for the input, I'm a longtime user of Tradingview, I pay $15/Mo., and I don't trade futures (no need to pay for extra data fees), for my charting needs the real time data of TV is sufficient. I read everywhere of 5$ , $10 and $30 /Monthly bundles on IB that's why i'm confused with the...

IBKR Pro user here, It's been a real PITA to trade via snapshots, specially with options and let alone spreads. It's that pricing normal? any workaround? My only guess is that i'm a non US user. I like IB very much, but at the moment that real time data pricing would represent almost 10% of my...

I don't have any real time data and is a pain to trade options via snapshots, specially spreads. The most basic bundle for me (IB Pro) is $125/Month any workaround for this? I think this is the price for international accounts, sadly.

I've just noticed the divergence between Violento's post count/vs likes. That's sufficient to take a side even for a newbie like me :D

But, did he click the button in your trading account?

I'm fairly new on IB so I was trying to get this, My thought process for quick decision making was that if you are net short, you buy to close the position you already sold to open (net short combo). Initially I construct the net short position from strategy builder, set the limit price at...

That's a great question sadly i'm not able to anwser, I'm using Regular T since opening and haven't done the proper research on the pros and cons to migrate to portfolio, my decision making is probably always easier as i'm not liable any taxes in the US but I have that research pending for sure.

on the debit spreads margin overcharging! sharp observation, now I remember that last week I couldn't open an AMZN debit spread just because I didn't have the avail margin and my math was telling me I did. I have a second nationality that TD does accept, i'll be moving faster to get my new...
