  1. I am a beginner in IB. If numerous trader agree your opinion with no objection, then yours might be usual and fair so that I can follow you.

    spend a lot of time in your paper account. Get use to entering, cancelling, modifying orders until it becomes second nature. Play around in there and set your screen up different ways until you find the one you like. Just be careful when you are in the real account, by then, it should be set up exactly the way you like it.

  3. [loyek] Thanks for the good advice. Appreciated.

    Sooner or later I make paper account so that my paid API helper will program what I want, by use of the new paper account. He do not have US id and cannot open security brokerage account.

  5. To avoid error, probably better to make program to select BUY/SELL and price. Of course one should pay lots of money and time to write a long code to do that for us.

    I believe you can configure IB so that you have to verify your order before it is transmitted.

    tell me about it. One time my tws crapped out and they made me delete and start all over on a Friday morning NFP.

    You can't believe how many warning signs I got. I forgot how many I had clicked "Don't show me this again"
