Often on the Stock Markets thread there are many questions regarding setups and trading platform tips. This thread is for those that are, plan to or are thinking about utilizing the IBKR Trader Workstation (TWS) platform. Hopefully we can begin share and help one another with setup tips, techniques and ideas to get the most out of such a powerful technology. After all TexAgs is the best help desk on the planet.
I also use the TDA/Thinkorswim (TOS) platform for my TDA accounts so I'm familiar with these two platforms. There will always be an age old argument of Ford vs. Chevrolet and one can expect the same with trading technology platforms. It would be great if you could get a blend of the two.
Overall the TWS technology is very advanced, flexible, smooth and crisp. What I do find though is IBKR does not have as user friendly tutorials, the amount of YouTube videos out there or the same level of customer service as TDA/TOS. I am confident those who dive into TWS will like what the see so I hope we can share things that will help all of us maximize our trading.
Here are a few quick screen shots of one of my account setups and some of the tabs/extensions on IBKR TWS Pro to give folks some ideas.
