Commissions/fees question

[Commissions/fees question]

Yes, you pay more commissions to your broker (not DAS) with more partials, every entry /add/ partial / exit is a ticket and you pay per ticket. See IB commissions here (notice they have 2 commissions structures, tiered and fixed).

We have educational content about brokers and commissions, you can search "commissions" in the Knowledge Base, or go to Education Center >Technology > Brokers and Commissions.

Thanks so much for this.  I’ve been using this tradebook as I’m learning strategies in the sim and it’s been great.  

Do you have any idea when the “Coming soon” strategies may be added?  I’m really excited for the clear and concise tradebook sheets for the additional strategies.

We will post an updated document every time we add strategies to it.

Thanks Abiel, If I upgrade to the monthly, will I be charged an extra? Let's say I upgrade now to monthly, but signed up for 40/month.

Please email [email protected] with your request, they will respond tomorrow.

Hi, as Intro Member you only have access to "Intro to Trading".

[Hot Key Question]

Yes Brandon, at the end is trader preference and style, for example Andrew just uses hotkeys and Thor just hot buttons.

Hi, please see this https://bearbulltraders.com/knowledge-base/i-selected-my-broker-account-in-the-montage-window-so-i-can-trade-but-when-i-enter-another-ticker-on-that-montage-it-then-automatically-switches-back-to-the-demo-account-is-there-any-way-to-make-it/ 

[Risk Control Page (DAS Trader Pro)]

How does it look? Are you using sim or broker? 

[Hotkey to double click and set Stop loss]

Hi Peter, see here 

 

[Hot Key Question]

Hi Brandon, it depends on personal preference and time of the day / strategy. In the market open (scalping / momentum trading) you want to be quick so hotkeys could be best.

[Panic Key explanation]

This question was asked in the chatroom:

I wanted if the panic order in DAS closes all your account position (even positiosn taken directly through IB without using DAS)

GJ Member (thank you!) reply was:

Please note that DAS only loads Equity and Positions from IB one time each morning, so any trades made in IB’s platform won’t show up in DAS until the next day. We recommend that if you subscribe to DAS for IB, that you just use DAS if possible.

[Can someone explain to me how IBKR uses margin?]

40 minutes ago, Gail Scott said:

I know this is an old post but I am a newbie and still figuring it all out.  Are margin accounts also used to reach the $25,000 min balance for day trading?  I can open an account with $5,000 and have 20,000 margin to reach to min. giving me the opportunity to day trade without opening with $25,000?

No. To avoid PDT the CASH in your account needs to be $25K.

BUYING POWER is your cash x margin, like $25K x 4 = $100K.

@MIGS if you want to day trade, see trading platforms provided with Lite: no fast execution, no DAS link, not even IB TWS.

Hi Matt. Journaling your trades while in sim will help to build your habit to do it and to improve as you advance in your sim training, so when you start live your journaling skills will be developed and template will be tested, improved and ready.

Before activating your DAS sim subscription make sure you:

Watch all Classes and DAS Lessons in Education Center. read this forum post too. If you are a Lifetime Member watching Success Webinars and Psychology Webinars is advised. Ideally you should watch all the content in the Education Center and webinars.

Take a look at this 12 week simulator program. You want to be familiar with everything in that program.

Watch these DAS Trader Tutorials in youtube. Every week we add new videos.

Prepare your trading plan and journal template. In the Downloads section of the website you will find a Trading Plan and Journal template https://bearbulltraders.com/lessons/trading-plan-template-2/

Download the BBT TradeBook from the Downloads section of the website. Review it and adjust it as needed.   

Use our Knowledge Base and Forums to search the questions you may have. If you search and don't find answers, ask here in the forums.

When you are ready, download the DAS 14 days free trail and set it up as you prefer. After the 14 days you can activate your 3 months DAS subscription, keep using the same DAS installation you used for the trial. 

Best.
