As a newbie in IB, this is first time to hear "basket", in my life. Let me have some hours to read carefully. In short, my own program makes one file (automatically every few minutes interval) as follows MSFT BUY 100 30.4 MSFT BUY 100 29.2 AXP SELL 100 105.8 (if I have AXP) This example is...

Would you please tell me what exactly means, to a beginner? No clear understanding in "Market data API" and "RTD" Personally, interested in only 500 equities and 1-min feeding fine. If my personal trading logic requires tick/second data, then have to pay big money. My situation is simple. /...

$50/M in http://www.activetick.com/activetick/contents/PersonalServicesDataAPIPricing.aspx is same as $600/Year. So in the next 50 years in your life, it is a signed contract for as much as 600*50=30K. same as buying a car.

For the historical data, such as past 1200 daily OHLC, best way is to use R to download free, by open source such as yahoo.com Explained in http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/simplest-way-to-download-historical-data.291492/ It is only 5 lines of program, without time-consuming a...

So did you mean paying such as $10/M to another feeding company, for intraday equity quote (every 1-min)?

As a newbie, is the TS a broker which makes brokerage profit? OR just a system trading helper? If so, what is their commission, compared with IB? PS) When I see http://www.tradestation.com/products/stocks-and-etfs/pricing possibly they offer even loer commission than IB. Any experience...

By "I have been trading part-time as non-pro for 8 years. Have been consistently making profits in the last 2 years. ", did you lose the rest 6 years? What is your annually compounded profit rate as percentage, based on total 8 years?

At the time of 5/22 Friday night, HPQ is drawn at IB, as below. My claim to sell at (precisely 34.2 , 34.4 and 34.9) in OP, is actually executed a day later in Friday. However THIS IS BY CHANCE. Please take a look.

Today, the SELL order at 33.90 was executed fortunately. 1) Can I trust the IB graph and NYSE? 2) Should I leave IB to find other place? Tell me other broker. 3) Or should I leave NYSE to find other country? This case is NOT first time, in my experience (less than a year) in IB.

Dear- Attached is a daily chart for HPQ, captured around 3:40 Thursday. The graph tell me daily high was $34.99. Therefor, the three SELL orders less than the daily High (precisely 34.2 , 34.4 and 34.9) are SUPPOSED TO BE EXECUTED. I guess either one of the two 1) The graph is erroneously...

What did you mean "logging into Acct Mgmt and following the menu options provided"? possibly due to my short English. All I want is 1)keep receiving earning notice by email and 2)stop receiving paper mail(earning notification). Of course I should receive important paper mail from IB, such as...

Probably, due to my short English / what do you mean "snail mail"?

I followed yours but no place found to ask to STOP MAILING TO physical address. Here is my capture. Possibly I CANNOT stop receiving paper mail...(?) / Email is fine.

For the personal chart, better to program myself, in the weekend. If you borrow something like Bollinger chart, no more improvement of skill in the future.

If TS charges $99/M as above, the yearly 12*99=1.2K makes 60K for your entire life of 50 years. So, if they charge upfront 20K one time, I can sign the platform. I will be happy since I made 40K IN ONE DAY.

I followed your capture above, to print the report YTD? Furthermore, may I get the record (real data to analyse) in Excel or csv or other format?

Dear- As below, I can receive email notification. May I stop IB to send paper mail to my physical address? If so, where is the menu to request? Appreciated if someone can direct me specific menu location, please.

I am surely newbie. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. It says ""The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command.""

I have my own program to send a alarm notice, saying that "MSFT reached your order point, please order 100 MSFT at 60 dollar", as soon as MSFT reaches $63 Also, the number of alarm is a lot bigger than 5. Possibly few hundreds. With that, I can do my plain work together with listening an alarm...
