    Thank you so much for this video! Completely new to trading and found all your tips super useful and easy to understand. A couple questions please. 1. Why didn’t you link the AT chart to yellow with the others as well? You kept it blue instead? 2. What does the subscription for level II do? 3. Can you trade stocks on the AT as many times as you want? The PDT rule is just for options correct?

    • @DanielInskeep
      @DanielInskeep  2 роки тому +1

      1) since i trade options, i want the contract to load into active trader while i monitor the underlying's chart (i don't need to see the chart for the contract itself).
      2) level ii data lets you see the order book depth - where limit orders of buyers and sellers are looking to buy and sell.
      3) no, PDT applies to both options and shares unfortunately. the way around it is a cash account where you can do as many trades as the cash in your account allows you to.

After searching forums, FAQ's, and various other searches as well as scouring the website, I finally obtained the information from Tech support, after opening a ticket within the platform.

    In another video, can you explain the "infinite" loss? I'm fairly new to ToS and I don't understand that.

    • @DanielInskeep
      @DanielInskeep  3 роки тому +1

      if you buy a call contract, you have theoretically infinite profit potential (since there is no ceiling to how high a stock price can go). so when you sell a call contract, there is in theory infinite losses - but since you already own the contract, your max loss is really just how much you paid for the contract... kind of confusing!

I won't have to call up ToS customer service. The price button in drawing was vexing me. I say Masitrades use it and searched everywhere. Properties could not be found anywhere on google but you showed where it is. Please don't underestimate the power of videos like this. I have been trading now for 90 days. I can daytrade. I know how to do that. I've never done an option. Now it looks like I will. Thanks for the great vid. I guess you know your last name was once Innkeeper. It got shortened for simplicity over time. I think when I mention your name people remember it.
