I do that all the time. I use real time on my computer and then place my trades with a broker who uses delayed data on my phone.
100% win rate, baby! 
We get up every morning...We are Traders.
We turn on our computers...We are Traders.
We sit and monitor the markets for hours...We are Traders.
We gamble our livelihoods everyday...We are Traders.
We drink espresso...We are Traders.
We experience highs and lows and everything else in between...We are Traders.
It's very difficult to do this, but we survive and thrive...We are Traders.
I envision everyone on ET participating in a silly, deep, inspirational, cheesy, motivational, proud television commercial showcasing our various emotions on our face and bodies using different camera angles and lighting,
Kind of like a Marines recruiting video.
So this is your thoughts of who you are? Cause "we" are not entire entity.
I get up every morning and I am system developer and business owner dealing with financial markets.
Computers stay on to watch automation that those apps in cities where the exchanges are located.
I watch markets maybe 2-3 times a month and only all day when I am trading 2 lots to check if signals perform real time before coding for automation. Backtesting is never enough or true.
Life is a gamble.
I don't drink espresso in the states, only regular coffee whether Starbucks or McDonalds(before 10:30am).
I lost the emotional highs/lows back in the 90s, it simple the same job, I enjoy the system development much more. I never enjoyed the actual trading, plus I couldn't trade 24 hours a day too often. Most there is frustration of not clearly understanding whatever I been working on which has been physics and cycles of late. Math skills are tarnished a bit.
It's funny, once you learn how to stop losing so often, you question yourself why it took so long.
I avoid anyone taking my picture, let alone be on some video.
I was wondering what you were seeing. So although the definition doesn't explicitly say it has to be 1 day, your IR is more than 3 weeks long. That is a Continent Reversal, not an island...

I wouldn't call 17 days a couple of days though... Your posted picture is more likely a dwarf's face with a hat.
Edit: We have just dropped so looking for a downgap at the open, making it a BEARISH possible island reversal, with yesterday's (or the day's before) upgap. It is happening after a decent run up, otherwise known as top....

- The trading activity may last for only a single day or a couple of days. When this arrangement occurs for only a single day, it is known as "one day reversal"."

No I only use 1 account, I have both long and shorts open at the same time.
Hey B, IR`s / Island Reversals are just that... a reversal of trend that leaves an Island in it`s wake after two successive gaps. There`s only two forms & trend has not changed yet....
Bearish....
Bullish...
LMAO... I use finviz to see everything at a glance as I also Swing Trade Commodities, Crude, Gold, Bonds & Index Options & only check in periodically ...I dont really care when I`m on the road to have up to the second quotes.... Unless i`m loaded to the gills in which case I`m always Bid & Offered 0ut way off the current market for significant moves... I think I subconsciously do it intentionally.

The new Samsung is very dependable... Just have`nt figured out the messaging end of it yet? Any Advice on this newer model? They said it was last years model but I think it may be just a bit older than that?
15 minute charts cannot be used to identify gaps. Gaps are defined by daily charts. What I showed was very definitely an island reversal. Bearish gap followed by bullish gap. The number of days has no consequence.
