  2. No, not practical at the moment. I have to trade up. Right now I am out of day trades. I WAS briefly up over the line but I let TSLA suck me back down. I just figured maybe on days when I could not trade stocks, I could still trade a micro or two and make a little something. I really haven't even decided I want to trade the micros, anyway.

    Super liquid and a great way to scale in and out.

  5. Is this the market data subscription I need for streaming MNQ live data on TWS? US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle (NP,L1) (Indices)

    Will that do it, or do I need an add-on? All I want to trade in futures is the micro eminis.

  6. This should be sufficient. Costs 10 USD per month. This will be reimbursed one month later if your account size is higher than 100 k USD.

    LOL, good Lord! What an incentive! Talk about throwing a bone!

    For some reason that makes me think of a BOGO offer at a supermarket, except in this case it's, But 1, get .001 free!"

  9. @GrowleyMonster had posted his current account value. So I thought that making a joke could potentially be appreciated.

    Yes and it's waived if you generate at least $30 commissions per month.

    You also need US Equity and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle for streaming quotes ($4.50/month).
