    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    Okay here is a screenshot of what I got, it seems to work, and the bottom line is pretty cheap. And yeah I think I got FOREX privs but I just haven't been messing with that. These micro futures contracts are a lot closer to what I have been doing all along, and still get me out from under the...

    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    I don't remember what I ended up getting, and it is a convoluted path through a deep dark cyber forest to get to it in the member portal but I will look it up later. I took one thing, I think it was $1.50/month and I seem to have live data now. It no longer says delayed, and it is showing crazy...

    Ideas For Now-

    So, Ronald McDonald and McDonalds have a big falling out. An extremely bitter parting of the ways with threats, lawsuits, public scenes, the whole bit. But Ronald still needs to make a living so he ends up taking one of the few jobs available to him, driving the school bus on Sesame Street...

    What data subscription do I need for trading Micro E-Mini futures?

    <face palm> Ah. Thanks! Any idea which one in IB? it doesn't seem like such a clear choice. Well anyway I will subscribe to TradingView's data and just use TWS for order entry, I think.

    What data subscription do I need for trading Micro E-Mini futures?

    I already have live data for stocks and ETFs. I currently do not trade FOREX or commodities or options and have no definite plans to do so in the near future. I do want to day/swing trade the micros, though. MNQ, for example. I followed the ibot recommendation and it is unclear to me what data...

    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    Is this the market data subscription I need for streaming MNQ live data on TWS? US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle (NP,L1) (Indices) Will that do it, or do I need an add-on? All I want to trade in futures is the micro eminis.

    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    No, not practical at the moment. I have to trade up. Right now I am out of day trades. I WAS briefly up over the line but I let TSLA suck me back down. I just figured maybe on days when I could not trade stocks, I could still trade a micro or two and make a little something. I really haven't...

    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    And there is no PDT restriction on trading micro eminis, right?

    IB's MidPrice vs Adaptive Algo

    I have been using midprice, getting nearly instant fills with minimal price slippage.

    Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

    I am thinking about giving this a go. I would like to do a bunch of paper trading before going live. Don't want to open another account elsewhere... got two already. Also is there any issue with trading micros on IB with a small account? By small I mean somewhere in the neighborhood of $23588.44...

    Ideas For Now-

    Meh. Stopped out. I couldn't let it take me down. $152 profit. I will grab them both again, next good bottom reversal. I think the whole market pulled the cruise lines down, with it. I will be watching the inverse ETF's tomorrow, too.

    I'm back in, tomorrow

    Meh. Stopped out on both, $152 profit. I was really looking for at least $400 today. That's okay, still well over 1%. And that was with only $12k+ in play. I was undecided whether or not this was a correction, or a sho nuff bear market. I am starting to lean toward the latter. TQQQ has dropped...

    I'm back in, tomorrow

    Still holding 300 CCL @ $18.18 and this morning bought 100 RCL @ $70.57. I put stop limit orders under both, just below the last dip. After every dip I will move my stop up under it, I think. For now. Later I might slack the stops down a bit for the long haul. I really anticipate holding these...

    Ideas For Now-

    You better believe they are hemmorhaging cash right now. Well, Carnival's Costa brand is sailing in the Med. We will definitely have a vaccine in production before the holidays. Probably by elections. It's the only way Trump can win and he will do what he has to do, to win, including printing...

    Ideas For Now-

    The major cruise lines as an aggregate are set for probably doubling by the end of the year. I bought a bunch of CCL Friday and RCL this morning. Holding them until further notice. I'm not going into airlines, at least not with just probable vaccine availability in the near future. Business...

    I thought stocks always go up?

    No I didn't know that. I thought they were on track for addition. Thanks.

    I thought stocks always go up?

    Decide for yourself, Tuesday.

    I thought stocks always go up?

    I think Tuesday will confirm a bottom reversal on TSLA. Could go up for a day, or several days, possibly a few weeks but it won't go as fast and hard as the several weeks previous to this selloff. The invincibility of the stock has been debunked now, and half the fanboys have left the field with...
