Hey fellow BBTers! For background: I'm back for a second time with BBT after a year off. I'm recently a member of the 'restructure' club after my employer has gone through some downsizing activities. I've been paper trading for 3 years with decent success and had been planning to 'retire' in July...so the downsizing doesn't hurt my feeling considering a decent severance was included. I'm taking this opportunity to turn my retirement into career #2...day trader...so I will be going live in the next week or so. I've been paper trading in TOS through TD/Schwab for 3 years. I've been considering making a switch to IBKR and using DAS. I know this is a DAS/IBKR heavy community, so I wanted to get thoughts from folks who have used both TOS and DAS in the last couple of years. I'll be trading primarily Stocks, ETFs and Futures (beginning to study Options soon also, but haven't paper traded yet). Does making the switch make sense? Or should I stick to what I'm familiar with. Any watchouts with either choice? Any other thoughts? Sincere Thanks to all! I hope to get to know y'all very soon! TraderChris

Anyone used IBKR API for scalping?
ngan82 posted a topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
Hello, I am looking to implement something simple like an ORB strategy to see how it works with auto trading. Am primarily a C/C++ guy so was pulled towards IBKR API. I would like to track 20-25 tickers at open. If the platform works out for my needs, I eventually would like to expand to new strategies if possible. Has anyone have experience with IBKR API or with any other platforms that are good for scalping using APIs? Thanks.
