Why do I have Thinkorswim real time data in paper trading without funded account

Why do I have Thinkorswim real time data in paper trading without funded account

Hi,

stupid question because I am trying to understand why I have real time data in Thinkorswim in my paper trading account.

I dont have any money in my real live account, the balance is 0$.

Support told me I need 500$ deposit in real live account to have real time data in paper trading account.

I understand that usually in paper trading data is delayed by 20 minutes, however, execution is based on real price in the backend which causes a disconnect in your strategy you plan to test in paper trading.

What is the catch here? Is it a glitch and somehow real time data was activated in my paper trading account without having 500$ deposit or is the "real time data" in the TOS user interface misleading?

TradeIdeas alternative stock scanner that is fast for momentum trading

Guys,

im done being a charity and donate my money to the market, want to finally start making money.

I am based in Switzerland and here we have the old dinosaur brokers that are super expensive and crappy software.

The only one I can use in Switzerland is IBKR TWS/Desktop, Tradezero, Thinkorswim.

However, after trying them out I realized that they are slow compared to Tradeideas when it comes to the stock scanner.

What I have observed is that Tradeideas is usually faster in detecting momentum stocks and price updates faster by some milliseconds/seconds and only then updates also in IBKR, Tradezero or Thinkorswim.

By the time I place a buy order in IBKR or Thinkorswim, the price already went up a bit...

Call myself still a beginner trader and dont want to throw a lot of money at Tradeideas for now as I am still learning.

Is there any reasonable alternative to Tradeideas?

I am looking for a tool that can be integrated with IBKR, because that's the only one that seems to be solid in Switzerland as it allows for DMA and fills nicely.

ARF Batgirl vs Bruce Wayne - Bezel Color Issue?

Hi

i want to pull the trigger on an ARF Batgirl or Bruce Wayne.

The Bruce Wayne is in the wiki as NWBIG listed, however the Batgirl as second best after VSF.

What I noticed is that the color transitioning on the Bezel where the "18" is between black and grey and black and blue is not ideally on the ARF.

Is this a wide spread issue?

Hey everyone,

After a few years in the "Gen" world, I’ve realized that paying the luxury premium doesn't actually guarantee luxury quality control or service.

Backstory:
* 2025 Sub Date (Gen):I recently sold my 2025 Sub. The rehaut was noticeably misaligned, and there was a literal gap in the letter "L" on the dial print. When I took it to the Rolex Service Center, they looked me in the eye and told me it was „within tolerance."

* 2023 Batgirl (Gen): I’m currently offloading my 2023 Batgirl. It has started to develop the low amplitude issue. I don't have the energy to fight with RSC for months just for them to tell me nothing is wrong, so I'm moving it while it's still running.

I’ve decided to move into high-end Reps. I love the designs, but I’m fully aware of the "movement lottery."
Instead of shipping watches back and forth to modders, I want to learn to service them myself. I’m looking for recommendations on a solid watch service toolkit.

Thanks

What I have observed, especially with a very trending Youtuber with his self developed Broker platform, is that they gather a following and then perform some Live Trading Streams.

Is it reasonable to think that during live streams the streamer places a trade and maybe couple seconds later his following watching the stream also places a trade. This will provide liquidity to that stock and the streamer just sells and checks out.

Is that a false thinking? Is the market too big for random streamers with a huge following becoming "market makers" in a sense?
