As a beginner, thanks to the both comments. The above link shows $1 from the second month in using ACH, to transfer to Bank of America where my checkng is. Of course, I use BAC personal check, to transfer cash from BAC to IBKR.

If so, without using free check, how does the IB traders transfer money for monthly expense? Do they pay as much as $50 for wire-transfer everytime? / Beginner's question.

Dear- As a beginner, I found Etrade give free check book for me to ship money, as shown at https://us.etrade.com/e/t/estation/pricing?id=1203011010 How about in IB? I did not find any check order info. Really IB does NOT provide checkbook? Thanks in advance. -Jay

Base on the above table, everyone wins between 12 and 14, since Dow and SnP increase a llot for the last three years. From Jan 2012 with Dow 12000 (roughly) to Dec 2014 with Dow 18000, most of the traders made roughly 50%(=6000/12000) profit in average. Of course, you record shows...

Dear- As a beginner, I found that without paying $10/month I cannot see the real-time chart even in the IB TWS screen. Now, my question is that, after paying $120/year, how many stock prices can come to some text file in my local PC together? Probably by use of some API, I hope that data is...

Thanks for both. I would pay couple of hundred dollars annually, subscribing roughly 400 real time (every min or every 5-min)feed, stored as c:\output.txt in my PC, depending on my personal watchlist on my own choice in c:\input.txt with 400 symbols in SnP500. BTW IQFEED is cheaper and...

Thanks for helpful info, specially IB beginner like me. REALLY FIRST time to see this link. Maybe $30/month for more than 100 symbols, no matter how much I fund in IB account....? DO they provide automatic (API???) program so that 400 current price of my personal watchlist will be stored in...

Thanks for replying. Probably, in Linux, the downloaded file is NOT executable as in usual MS Windows...? Where can I find the line (in Linux "Ubuntu") for the above command line to type? ONLY a few days in Linux experience in my life.

Dear- As a newbie in NYSE, I am practicing trading system, with a recent open IB account. Here is a situation. Suppose I have a cash of $10K, AXP (as much as $6K) is bought without any problem, since it is all cash(actually will be paid in settlement day). Now problem starts here. If I...

Dear- As a newbie, here is a simple question. In a new formatted Linux, I understand that we should install "JAVA 7", before IB TWS. At the "JAVA 7", in google search, which link do I need to use? Please show me any link to unstall. Thanks. -Jay

I heard that the account size depends on the initial cash amount, although I am not sure. Maybe 10K, 50K and 100K? Really a beginner in IB.

If IB allow only 100 symbols subscription (ONLY equities, no future/option), I will choose tradingview for $299 per every two year, since I need roughly 400 symbols data similar to SnP500. Of course, based on my predetermined(changable) c:\input.txt (400 symbols), I hope tradingview or other...

Please do NOT suggest me getSymbols(), because this give 500 different pieces, instead of ONE MATRIX.

Dear- Daily return rate can be downloaded fine, as follows. install.packages("tawny") library(tawny) SnP500 <- c("ACE", ... , "ZTS") ReturnFrom2007 <- getPortfolioReturns(SnP500 , start = "2007-01-01") Instead of the % data, I like to receive a matrix with daily close. What is the R...

I prefer, in case my buy order (less than current price) is executed, that I pay proof of purchase (roughly 25% or 30%?) today and expected the rest (to pay the full amount of purchase) 3 days later(75% or 70%). Also I do NOT want to pay any kind of INTEREST for any kind of LOAN.

Dear Today, first experience in NYSE, with recent open IB account. Suppose I have cash of $10K, what is buying power of $40K shown in the IB screen? My guess that I can order as much as $40K total. (say 4 pieces of $10k buy order) 1) If all is executed, does it mean I used credit (loan that...

Of course, the 8% is after rent+YourLabour+tax+.... . / Like dividend in stock, 8% growth is ONLY for your net invest (cash seed), I agree.

Roughly, SnP grows annual 8%, for the last 45 years, as Buffet's record shows in http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2013ltr.pdf So if you personal small business shows 8%, then it is almost same as market average.

I agree but the amount of outperforming, is less than most traders guess. If you can say later that My record outperform 12% above the SPY, then you asset should be 4000 times than your starting seed. For example, starting amount of $10K should become $40000K . Also that ourperformance of...

Dear- As a newbie in NYSE, I wonder if we can make a ring 1) of "MSFT bought 100 at 30.00" as soon as 100 MFST is executed at $30.00 2) some broker provide in his TWS? If not, we can make sound files ourselves, with MSFT.wav, for sound of "MSFT". Of course, if personal watchlist has 300...
