So just to confirm commissions and p/l is added/taken into your account in real-time? I use to trade with tradezero and profit and commission isn't calculated until the next day. Which is more bad than good.

Just a few quick questions. 1. I am using the demo account. If I save the layout will I be able to apply it to the real version later? 2. Will I be able to trade in Das Trader from IB without without using any of their live data subscriptions? (IB requires a $2000 minimum before you can...

Ok thanks. The charts are showing confusingly for stocks or not showing at all but works fine on forex pairs? Maybe since market is closed right now so I will try again tomorrow.

The biggest issue I am facing with TWS is not able to send orders instantly with hot keys or at one click of a button since I don't have live data a order ticket just pops up every single time. Can medved trader override that?

I googled IBKR lite after hearing on youtube comments it was available in Canada clicked the green link and followed the directions to open an account. Only to discover it was a PRO account. Disappointed! I should just relocate to the US.

Just tried motivwave I thought it was gonna bring the charts into the tws platform. All it did was link your account in motivewave so you can see your orders, position, trades etc. I don't get what the point of that is.

Gave cs a call and they told me the transmit instantaneous feature doesn't work until I subscribe to live market data. Gonna subscribe once I fund my account. Are you familiar with the subscriptions for stocks on US exchanges? I assume CBOE ONE package only gives realtime price but not bid/ask...

When I enter an order in tws it always prompts me for an order preview or order ticket which defeats the purpose of hotkeys. Is there a way to turn it off? I already went to API precautions and clicked every single box.

I meant their platform thinkorswim. (TD waterhouse is the Canadian version of Ameritrade.) Forget that anyways. It seems like a complicated process that requires understanding of excel, cc+ etc. I will just out for one of the cheaper chart providers that have straightforward linking instructions.

Question is how do you link TD charts to TDW anyways? I can't find a single link on it explaining how on google.

I just downloaded TWS demo recently. When I enter a stock symbol it always prompts me with a list of options. Is there a method to skip this process and choose stocks in default? If I enter GOOG for example, I just want the stock. I don't care about bonds, options, futures etc. Also, when I am...

Do you know how they act after LUDP's? I know they completely evade regular stops since the ask price drops to 0.00 and errors out brokerage systems. Got screwed once. Learn my lesson not to use them on certain tickers. Never used a trailing stop before though.

Anyone in Canada has open an account with them? What type of identification do they require? Is it just your bank statement that is needed? I don't have any ID with picture on it besides OHIP and I somehow lost my birth certificate. However, I do have a photo of me holding my birth certificate...

I don't like the idea of giving up so I blew up at least 25+ small accounts ranging from $500-$2500 over the last 4 years. It's not as much about the loss of money. But the failure to be profitable after so many attempts.

Doesn't seem like my broker has that unless it's under a different name. The options I have are GTC, OPG, IOC, FOK, GTX, GTD, DAY+ AND GTC+.

Daytrading simply isn't for me. It's an emotional roller coaster. Fast pace with too many risks.. The commission takes huge chunks of my profit. I get suckered into p&d's very often. Then lose money due to my own psychological leaks and the nature of daytrading. I am to scared not to take...

Exactly, I am asking if FOK prevents partial fills. I haven't exactly used it yet.

Twice in commissions. Since after an unpartial fill I've to buy the rest of the missing shares.

Yeah, it's probably not us little guys. Prop firms or perhaps Centerpoint but since it cost 50k minimum to open an account that isn't an option for me. You can try to locate in the early pre and see if any is available. The disadvantage is you don't know if it's a great short setup until later...

Nope, I saw it late in the day too distracted by the 2 chinese tickers.
