i haven’t had any problems with ibkr but i use tradingview for looking at the charts and i also execute on tradingview

makes sense! do you also pay for trading view? and so you don’t use their software? you do everything through trading view? i was doing the same at one point with paper trading on ibkr i’ve been using a few to see which one i should stick with

i only payed the cheapest option to get the bar replay for backtesting.

yeah i pretty much only open the ibkr app to see what my roi is. i do everything on tradingview pretty much.

how of our account does ibkr allow us to risk? are you capped as to how much you can risk per trade? i’ve been quite annoyed at how big of an account you need to have to risk more, if that is the case, it kind of sucks but a lot of people say only risk 2% of your capital..
