Are the two above done through API or it's something TWS offers?

Is he really trading 1-3 min or he actually trading based on tape? The two guys that I follow that trade low floats are both level2/tape traders and using charts just for overall context (at least that is my understanding of what they do)

It should, but less than displayed one. I'm not sure why Robert said it may actually take liquidity, maybe if, by the time it arrives, the market moved and the order is aggressive. https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=PriceListTrading2

I don't think it works this way. It's designed for large spreads, not to split a penny. It says that for buy orders, it's mid minus offset, so you can't lift the offer with it. I assume that if spread is a penny, it will simply join the best bid (assuming offset is zero).

Why is everyone assuming he needs to re-price often? Maybe he only needs to reprice if the underlying moves 1%? I didn't see anything in OP to indicate he needs to reprice quickly and often.

You are joking, right? Maybe you can do this with realized gains, but not initial equity.

Same advice from one of my favorite books: https://books.google.com/books/about/Trading_Risk.html?id=wluItv6tdCEC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button

I believe you can use ThinkOrSwim to scan for this.

Why? It sounds like he simply wants to modify based on nbbo of the underlying. The question is how fast he needs to react?

I respectfully disagree. Perfect/Precise entry requires skills. Averaging as price moves against you requires mean reversion - that is natural ebb and flow of the markets but not really a skill. I'm not saying that people who average down don't have skills, as you need to do it in the proper...

Oh it works! However, what's the reason for averaging? Well, with less liquid instruments you just have no other choice. But with something liquid? The only reason I can think of is one is "sure" of eventual direction but not sure of the timing. One thing you haven't mentioned is sizing. For...

I had exact same problem. There was no way to disable this pop up, at least that's what I was told.

Hello, I would like to be able to monitor using IB Mobile app while away from my desk. When I login into Mobile in Read-Only mode, my TWS says that both market data and trading connection is lost. Once I disconnect from Mobile it does not seem to reconnect until I click on TWS window, after...

Hope you get some favorable resolution, but I think you got to accept these things as part of business. Sh*t happens all the time and many times it's outside anyone's control - like power or internet outage. Trade small while you learn, join prop once you are ready. Keep your own money in a...
