tats a good rate, can consider coz it's easier to do everything in one platform -at least for me

I think if anyone concern about the commission, just switch to IB and use TD chart(free), thats the best rate available in the market. No need waste time negotiating with other brokers and no need to own a super big account with whatever VIP status

Agree, TDAM fees are a fair bit higher per trade - but useful for the commission free ETFs (for long term holdings)

Any way to get free data feeds in IB so we don't have to use both at the same time?

IB do provide free data feeds, its just that its not live ticking data last i know. They push the chart screenshot to you on the time interval you set.

If you want free ticking data, TD is the only one that I come across that have huge historical data and excellent live data feeds considering it's free. And with all the good study and research tools

You're trading ETF mid-long term right? So live ticking data shouldn't be a big concern to you?

P.S I have no business interest with either

Yeah, IB provide 15 minutes delayed data for free - for live data they charge.

I mostly hold ETFs for long term, options every now and then, and some short selling of ETFs through IB

Ohh, does IB have something like data feeds fee waiver if you trade above "x" amount each month? I believe there was something like this back then
If your strategy can meet that requirement maybe can consider?

Ohh btw, great effort with the ETF info

Yeah, they have a waiver if trade above a certain amount of commissions per month

But because the commissions are quite low and I'm not that active so not enough to get fees waived. Mostly I use IB for buying ETFs in EUR and GBP (TD only allows me to deposit USD)

Yeah I thought ETF thread was a good idea, let's see how it goes.

if thats the case i think the low cost way is to rely on TD charts for now. Since you're not actively trading i guess that shouldn't be too troublesome. Maybe you can consider hooking up another monitor -less alt-tabing

I like Yellen Effect.

Wow.. the jobs numbers are good. 214K private jobs, UE drops to 5.8%.
More fire power for bulls.

Markets are jumpy i dont know whether its a reaction to jobs being good news or bad news..

I was only expecting 200k..(Briefing.com has much higher expected number than mine).

The revision for previous month was 31k higher, for July/Aug the net revision was 69k higher initially than reported.
Overall the last 4 months averaged over 220k.

Darn... something indeed is cooking up US economy. No wonder bulls snorting hot.

Some may want to take profits here... I don't blame 'em. The run up here probably baked in.
Already all time high. SP500 not cheap anymore.

Traders want bad news to bring market down but no bad news.

I'm kicking myself for letting BABA go.. now higher than AAPL. arrh shucks...

Crude bouncing back strong. Broken down trend line.

Winter + Saudi pipe blast = crude going up again for a short while?

Not yet.... still within 76-79 range meh
We need to see Oil gets back above $80 for downtrend to break.

If break 75... then, we will see 70-75 the new range.. then something is wrong.
The world is flushed with oil.. no one wants to buy.

Maybe they need to blow up more pipes or start a new war somewhere.
