It's a good point and I have a theory on it:
in the beginning if you can get the help of someone sharp that knows the ropes like hcpg or zanger, then it can really help you and save you from blowing your acct and countless losses.
But then you have to go thru a stage where you cut out...
Quick question: I use IB but use my own feed (E-signal). I most likely will not use $30 in comms every month, do I still get charged $10 for the data, even though I have unchecked all data feeds (since I use E-signal)?
Tx.
Do any IB users use QT to execute trades instead of TWS?
Is it correct to assume that QT is considered an API and that if you, for ex, cancel an order, you are charged for it?
