Okay -- some thoughts: ☼ This is like one of the *coolest* threads this year. I know it's only February, but shit. ☼ You guys have (collectively) hit on about every real, *material* concern to be raised -- ☼ you've tossed it all back and forth -- *great* give-and-take..... but... ☼ HOW HAS NO...

The ordinal *event* of 'trendiness' is correlated with 'DE-trendiness' -- even if the cardinal trendiness is not. It's not as pretty, but it's still an inverse correlation. I haven't had enough coffee, but I'm thinking (like you, qlai) that there must be a better term for it. I am abashed that...

You can toss the terms around in the right ways -- I don't think a book is going to do anything for you. I think you need to cement these things in your head with real-life lessons. I think it's plain that you need some skin in the game, to watch and to glue into your ganglions what works...

The biggest Newb Error I observe [and have to warn myself of, constantly] is that Entry & Exit and Long & Short fill in a 2x2 square. So, Enter-Long____Exit-Long Enter-Short____Exit-Short As well, any counter-trade you might...

☼ Bitcoin, et.al. (short) ☼ Lithium (no lie: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/04/investors-bullish-on-electric-car-battery-tech-mull-lithium-futures.html ) ☼ Hops (long) ☼ White House staffers writing books (long) ☼ Late-night TV Comedians (short-term: long; long-term, short) ☼ Bananas (WTH...

Every exchange charges for real-time data. Every broker that provides data "for free" makes it up in higher charges elsewhere. IB's business model has it merely passing through exchange data fees. If you trade a token amount, IB will absorb many exchange fees anyway. All of this information is...

Cart way before the horse. Decide what you're wanting as an end-product; otherwise, your message is a mess of contradictions.

Milk (U.S. retail) at all-time lows, and you want to short it?!? :wtf::confused::rolleyes:o_O:cool:

"That is a dead parrot." :D

I do not know this to be true -- I just crack up every time I read, "tastes like ass." :D

Go to TWS, not TWS_Mosaic, and you'll have more choices.

...which only means we are returning to a normal market. "Wake me when the hysteria is over?" Zzzz-zzzzz-zzzzz....

And you can do the same thing from IB: File/[down-arrow]/Export_to_File and there you go. Works for ANY QuoteMonitor page -- I have set up DB feeds for 5 years: 71 SPX strikes, and then 26 fields for market data, option greeks, and any specific account/position fields -- for usually 6 expirys...

I think you have your directions crossed. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/07/trump-budget-deficits-growing-big-spending-fiscal-irresponsibility/

I have seen 856 of these for every account I have set up through IB over the years. (Three accounts for myself -- half-a-dozen (easy) for others.) You only have 855 to go. :confused:

The information you seek has already been presented to you in prior answers -- which you apparently did not read. I encourage you to close your account immediately, and spend the next year focused on learning.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.

I set up the QuoteMonitor page specifically to be a DB -- it's snapshot only, remember: no historical. Hit File/down-arrow/Export Page to .csv/ and give it a name+location. Then you just import it into your spreadsheet. (Or in your case! feed your API from something that takes about 5 seconds to...

I don't believe it's possible to have a thread like this without participants having written in complete ignorance of 1987. Here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=crash+of+%2787+program+trading&t=ffsb&ia=web Y'all take a deep, freakin' breath. D'ya realize that 2018 was the first year of...

Why not utilize IB as your starter, since that's where you're going anyway? What data are you (then) getting from IB? By what API path are you working with IB? (FWIW, I set up a QuoteMonitor page specifically for scraping purposes, and offload that to a spreadsheet from which I end up with a...
