How long can you stay on the platform without trading - is your account funded...? I ask because i just started with IB and they keep emailing me and tell me to fund my account. I am paper trading till i get to know the platform... thanks
Can you do a tutorial on "Reverse Position" - that would be awesome. Also, I have a heck of a time with order execution, a large number of my orders are sooo slow(like multiple minutes) - I cancel them and try to redo them.......(I have heard others say IB was a slow platform for execution)
Thank you - best tutorial on this I have seen and exactly what I've been looking for! Could you also please share how to add an OCO / Bracket order to an existing LIMIT order that has already been made? I tried to add the "Attach bracket order / add stop limit order " buttons but nothing happens.
Great video. I use hot keys which are faster but I am sure you have other videos explaining that. Mine are Ctrl+1 buy 100, Ctrl+2 buy 200.... Shift+1 sell 100, Shift+2 sell 200....
Great video - I'll need to watch it again. Looks easy as you do it, but i dont want to make any mistake when i set up the presets... love the idea Do you have a video on trailing ir pretrailing..?
how do you use these fast buttons to scale in and out two different stocks, with two different stop losses and profit takes? Please make a video about it. Thank you.
Great video, thanks. Now my question is why it doesn't automatically show my current open orders? Moreover, I do have two different accounts RRSP and TFSA, should I create two windows (one for each) or there is a way that I can have a column selecting showing or selecting the desired accounts for each order rows? Please advise
Is there a way to have each one of these "toolbar" per share. What I mean is, since different stocks have diff prices, when I switch to a different stock can I pre set stock size in relation to my capital? Hope my question make sense :) Thanks in advance and more power!
I didnt see you move the SELL STOP line and only the SELL LIMIT line, can you adjust the STOP LIMIT like you did on the chart with the SELL LIMIT? Great video and thank you.
Have tried trading trough trading view on IB, doesnt even work properly, stop loss orders just being ignored. Hmm I guess I have to learn this software now
Thanks. Need your help - I was trying to configure a Preset in TWS for "Adjustable Stop" in a Scenario where I bought the stock @100 (With 20% stop loss) and in case it hits 4% profit and it triggers a Trailing limit for Sell with a Trailing amount 5%. Some how I am getting the error of "Invalid Trigger Price" and I have tried multiple options included Parent order in the Adjusted fields. I have tried this in both Pre market and normal market. Can you please help on what all need to go in the Primary order and Attached stop order (in terms of %)
Your Yt channel is my choice to learn about IB . Love your direct and simple style appart from your great voice, you make complex things easier man. IB channel should learn from your videos about how to explain topics. Thanks @shortthestike and happy trading!
any tips on how to make the charts on IBKR easier to adjust and see where entries are? At first glance the charting experience doesn't seem as fluid as with TOS or TradingView. A video that helps in this regard would be very much appreciated :)
I am a new day trader, was using DAS Pro but thats too expensive. Now exploring IBKR for day trading, i am confused about the market data, what kinda package should i choose to day trade stocks in NYSE and NASDAQ? Appreciate your response.
Hello , I do have a question I would like to setup the trading buttons like you show here but I want to be able to fill the position size by my risk factor so it will automatically choose the number of shares I can buy /sell based on that and also take profit by the RATIO of 1.5 (or whatever I choose) can that be done ?
Man, you make navigating this platform look easy. I just can't get it to flow for me. I will try a bit longer, but I think I need to change platforms. It is just too clunky! You do a great job, though!
Thanks for the great video. I was wondering if you could touch on options contracts customization of bracket orders with stoploss and profit tech. I seem to be having an issue creating a $.10 stop loss and a $.30 profit take. I would like a hard stop. Thanks again.
Is ONE CLICK execution possible for the following operation? I don’t care if it’s a Smart Key, Hot Button, or Preset. Just want immediate, one-click execution. I can adjust everything once the order is in, but I like protections going in all together. For a long ES, as an example: Enter BUY 4 (MKT or LMT on the ask, midpoint, +/- with -2 stop on parent Sell 50% or quantity 2 at +2, Sell 1 at +4 Leave a runner with -3 stop. I would make a handful of these presets, depending on NQ/ES, desired sizing. If I get the format for the above, I can figure out the rest. Thanks for any feedback.
please advise how I can set "buttons" to similarly market orders. my strategy is scalping, I need to set buttons to quickly open positions and the other buttons to quickly close positions
Hi Guys, I cant seem to be able to buy in pre market hours with this set up. any suggestions? Also is there any way I can stop my position with one click?
I just startet to use quote monitor and I'm much faster now in entry and exit my trades. Unfortunately I still have to transmit the order in another pop up window even if I mark the check box to transmit the order instantaneously. Do I have to edit something somewhere else? thank you so much!
I've been learning from you about IBRK but I tried to put in my application and it say I don't make enough money to use it. What broker is advance but application friendly ?????????????
Is there a way to set up buttons on my Trader Workstation (IBKR) like this: One button for buying 4 contracts at MKT price One button that sells 2 contracts at the entry price plus 5% profit One button that sells 1 contract at the entry price plus 10% profit One button that sells 1 contract at the entry price plus 15% profit So let's say I enter a position at 1.47, then when I press the buttons to sell, it should be 2 contracts sold at 1.54, 1 contract sold at 1.62, and 1 contract sold at 1.69.
can these buttons be on the hot buttons panel? Right now there are only Alert, Buy, Sell buttons on the upper right corner of the chart. Can we get close position button there too?
Hi, great content. I'm just getting into trading the stock market and i was wondering, when i scalp stocks, do i have to buy and own the stock (for a short amount of time) or do i have to use options trading or CFD's.
to scalp stocks particularly, you are buying and owning the stock for short amount of time stocks, cfds and options are all different products and not the same thing
The UI has changed. Now when you configure the target order, you can also specify initial component size, subsequent component size, and increments. Can you please let us know what that means? I called IBKR customer service and they couldn't answer either.
Is it possible to drag and drop orders directly onto the chart and slide the orders up or down to adjust the price we want, say I'm looking at an SPX chart and want to trade a specific option contract but don't want to use the option chain order entry to place the order? If so would you please make a video showing how to set this up? Thank you
A quite straight way of explaining IBKR TWS-platform which sometimes is really really confusing. If you modify the order line in the chart this mod is instantly transmitted, whereas modifying order price in the limit box requires confirmation through clicking on "update". Is there a way that TWS requires me to hit the "T"-button in the chart to confirm a change of the order price after repositioning the order line?
hello guys i have a problem, what is i dont want to buy an absolute amount of shares ? It keep buying 100 shares by default i dont know how to change that

Thanks for the vid . If we want to make a sell OCO button with stop loss 0.5 dollars should we put -0.5 or +0.5 ? Thanks

Sir I like your layout of TWS! thanks for the vids! any tips on how to have the same layout ?
wow you made that extremely easy to understand.
Hey thanks for an easy to understand great video. I wonder if we can create buttons for orders ‘Outside RTH’ say Buy ORTH/Sell ORTH?
Have tried trading trough trading view on IB, doesnt even work properly, stop loss orders just being ignored. Hmm I guess I have to learn this software now

what if you were trading futures or options instead of stocks, how would you setup buttons for contracts?
You are a great help. Very nicely explained.
How can you prevent order confirmation window pop ups? I tried all scenarios to prevent this.
This video is gold! Thanks 🙏
Great video, but how do we set the buttons to Buy the ASK and Sell the BID?
Great video, thanks you... Does this work for options as well as commons?

i'm new just downloaded the basic trader tool. How do I get my screen to start to look like yours?
Hi Guys, I cant seem to be able to buy in pre market hours with this set up. any suggestions? Also is there any way I can stop my position with one click?
Do you have a similar video for fast day trading but for Options on IBKR?
Thank you for your video. Does the platform have instant real-time access to the market, or is there some delay?
Real-time, but I don’t remember off the top of my head if IBKR offers for free or if there’s a monthly fee
I just startet to use quote monitor and I'm much faster now in entry and exit my trades. Unfortunately I still have to transmit the order in another pop up window even if I mark the check box to transmit the order instantaneously. Do I have to edit something somewhere else? thank you so much!
I've been learning from you about IBRK but I tried to put in my application and it say I don't make enough money to use it. What broker is advance but application friendly ?????????????
Thinkorswim is my favorite, but tastytrade is also good if you’re trading options.
how do i just add stop orders? i dont want attached orders, i want to add stop order on chart exactly in the place i click.
is it possible to do stop loss trailing in ibrk ?
Can you do this for options as well?
thank you so much it is very helpful
HI would you do chart trader buttons for a limit buy in say for a break out and a limit sell or stop loss sell to protect your position. Thanks.
Great video! would this be useful for trading futures on ibkr? Thanks!
The best video Tx😊

I really need a good broker but IB is too dinosaur for me. Overcomplicated for no good reason. Looks like I'm learning how to code 🤣

Why does it say "Invalid Trigger Price" on my OCO order?
A quite straight way of explaining IBKR TWS-platform which sometimes is really really confusing.

Is there a way that TWS requires me to hit the "T"-button in the chart to confirm a change of the order price after repositioning the order line?
Is it possible to hide the grey chart trader box, I just want to use hot keys and not have the details pop up each time.
can this be done with options?
Somehow that's not the screen I start out with. Mine shows New Window; IBot; FYI.
Can you do 1% stop loss
Thank you for the video
is there faster way to set conditional orders in mossiac instead of the order ticket under Classic TWS? Eg sell apple stock when spy hits 400
hello guys i have a problem, what is i dont want to buy an absolute amount of shares ? It keep buying 100 shares by default i dont know how to change that
good job👍
Awesome !!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST
Thank you!
@@shortthestrike Can we use the same methodology on option chart? I just want to execute my orders effortlessly.
Correction, you now can "Override" the Close Position button with the Transmit the Order Instantaneously.
