Our traders all trade at Interactive Brokers. IB wins the award every year for best executions

[@brucek2946]

I have wanted to for Many Years and still want to get on board with Maverick .. Hoping to Make it happen soon !!

[@brunos9197]

Nice video. Do they have now tick by tick data on their charts like sierra chart? Thanks

[@ChristianKylexoxo]

For me, it crashes multiple times per day in paper trading. I would be scared to use real money with it.

[@lowkeyconvert8971]

i went into this a week ago. seems very laggy still as it's a new thing for them. at a guess, they'd be looking to still iron our some issues.

[@jasonsmith1127]

Thanks!! This actually "feels" more like TastyTrade than Thinkorswim. Can you drag and move option legs quickly along the chain like you can in TastyTrade? Like for instance, if are doing a credit spread and want to quickly see what a 10-wide would give you, versus a 20-wide or a 30-wide? Or does it not function like that?

[@mavericktrading]

Hi Jason, Yes you can. Very easy point and click. You could click the x on one leg (delete) and then click another leg to see the new spread. We also just put out a new video on order entry, detailing more of exactly what you are looking for. Check it out! thanks!

[@gordonraddy]

Oh what a treat indeed. Do you happen to have a video on how to set up different order executions via panel buttons? Not hotkeys? For some reason my Buy Stop with Stop-loss aint configured properly and am bit clueless why it aint working. Plain Buy Stop with 2% Stop-Loss. Same applies ot the Buy Limit Order set-up. Cheers

[@mavericktrading]

Hello, this would be something you would configure in your "order presets". You may want to enter into a chat with IB support to help walk you through it. But if you go searching, it is in the order presets. thanks!

[@gordonraddy]

The new platform doesn't have it yet. Same applies to the advanced charts in IB's classic TWS.

[@tonny9168]

Thanks for this video. As for options trading, can you roll options in this software? Both one-leg and two-leg spread? Also, would you say this is an upgrade on the client portal? Hope you will have a chance to answer my question. Thanks again.

[@mavericktrading]

Yes you can! It is really easy with the point and click shown in the video. I think it is an upgrade to the client portal. A downgrade from TWS in terms of ability to do as many things. If you are advanced, TWS is still the best platform but can get confusing for some. Cheers!
