The two tools I have found helpful for this are: PowerToys FancyZones – Divide your screen(s) into equal parts. and AquaSnap – Drag and snap windows together. Using these tools can really help in creating custom desktop layouts without having to “eye-ball” it.

“Going Live” workshop with Interactive Brokers / CMEG?
Jaguar replied to Jaguar's topic in Day Trading Brokers
To my knowledge, there hasn't been a specific workshop on this topic but these items are addressed in other workshops. Some notes on the items below now that I have been live for a while. What to expect when transitioning to a live account Psychology is a huge deal when going live. Lower your share size and only trade small amounts until you stabilize. Rande Howell Mastermind Pro with Dr. Reid - (Requires BBT membership) DAS Platform changes to make Not much really, just your hotkey routes. Example for IB would be: SMRTL/SMRTM vs LIMIT/MARKET Notes on commissions and account types (Cash vs. Margin, Tiered vs. Fixed) Commissions are really cheap in general and you need a Margin account to go Short so I would recommend: Margin w/ a Tiered account (assuming IB as your broker) Anything else relevant to what a new trader might need to know. Day Trading Reality Checklist (attached) Kyle's Hotkey setups and a Stream Deck TraderVue or Chartlog for tracking your progress Everything listed above was very helpful to me so I wanted to summarize for those making the switch to live trading after trading in the simulator.

Are there any plans for a “Going Live” workshop with Interactive Brokers / CMEG? Covering some items like: What to expect when transitioning to a live account DAS Platform changes to make Hotkey routing changes, etc. Notes on commissions and account types (Cash vs. Margin, Tiered vs. Fixed) Anything else relevant to what a new trader might need to know. I know there is already a video on commissions, but I was thinking of a more comprehensive video on the changes when switching over to a live account with IBKR/CMEG Maybe a Checklist of changes or summary to bring it all together for members transitioning to a live account from the SIM.
