I think you have the right idea! I just recently started my Evaluation with OneUp. Looking forward to the journey. I personally would rather be on a sim vs live. It's a lot easier mentally to trade knowing I'm on a sim, even though it really makes no difference.

You JUST started... Imo, have to set yourself up to be able to handle the losses for 1-3 years before you are able to be consistently profitable. I believe that if you don't do this, you will fail like most traders. I started about a year and a half ago and I had about 10 or so months of mostly...

Day trader of options. $TSLA, $AMZN, $BA, $ZM, $BABA, $FB, $SPY, $UVXY

When I'm not scalping ORB's or trading within the first 30 min, I like to have a starter position, then get one add if it sets up. For example: I buy 1 TSLA put at VWAP test/fail. TSLA then sells off some more, gets to LOD, then retraces to just above the 34, until it shows weakness. That's...

Can you elaborate on these edges?

I just thought about it and so many orders are hidden, so I'm not getting the whole picture. I feel like I can trade just fine using the top of the book. If there was no way to hide orders, I would definitely keep the Deep Book data.

So I was able to find a scanner and add Imbalance data to it. Thank you for the answers!

I recently signed up for Deep Book data (ARCA, NSDQ, and NYSE). I have to say, it was cool at first, but I don't think I will be keeping the Deep Book data next month. At first I felt like it gave me an edge, but after having it a week, I'm not so sure.

Hello, I have IB and this month I decided to try out "Deep Book" data, as well as Order Imbalance data for NYSE ARCA, NYSE MKT, and NYSE Order Imbalances. I just can't figure out where I see the imbalance data? Is it in the Quote Panel? I added "Imbalance and Imbalance %" in the Quote Panel but...

I'm currently on IB and TOS (for charts, swings, and backup scalping). I do miss lightspeed from time to time. What I like most about is the level of customization you can do (hot keys, buttons, custom order-types, etc.). Also really like the Time and Sales. The platform NEVER has issues, at...

Well, are you still as optimistic?

I was only paying $4.50 before I upgraded to Deep Book data the other day. I will be going back to $4.50 likely by next month. Don't think the deep book data is worth it because MM's and others likely manipulate the data anyways. I don't know yet... still figuring it out.

I like your style and this is so true!

I replied to your message right above this one. I forgot to hit the reply and just added to the post.

I trade off of SPY, UVXY and the underlying. I trade TSLA multiple times a week. Otherwise I'm trading whatever is in play for the following basket of stocks: BA, AAPL, NVDA, SPY, AMZN, NIO, FB, BABA, ZM, NFLX, etc. I just need volume, a significant daily level, a pattern, and preferably a...

I signed up for Nasdaq Total View, NYSE Open Book, and NYSE ArcaBook the other day. So far I'm enjoying the extra depth. I will use the next few weeks to figure out if it's worth the extra $60 or so. So far I feel it's worth it, but I'm only on day 2. I will update the post when I know more.

I have IB as main, and TOS is my backup (also use for main charts and technical analysis). I do miss Lightspeed tbh. Will eventually add them into the mix again since I never once had any down days with them.

Hello, This is my first post here, although I have been on the site browsing for over a year. I was wondering if you traders feel it's worth it to route orders in IB through exchanges such as ISE, CBOE, etc. vs going through their "SMART" routing? I was also wondering, do you pay for "Deep...

Does anyone know if I would get better fills using direct access in IB to trade options (CBOE, ISE, etc) vs going thru their "SMART" route?
