[Software Tools - Easily split your screen(s) into equal parts.]

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?]

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.

[“Going Live” workshop with Interactive Brokers / CMEG?]

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.
