I’ve noticed that most people here focus more on order flow, volume analysis, and VWAPs. If you could share any resources or insights on it, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

@Robert Rother you suggested the 50K account from APEX on a live session last week. You said it has the best drawdown or profit ratio (I don’t remember the exact phrase you used?). It seems they have two choices, Rithmic or Tradovate. I never used these platforms. I have BookmapData and MBO for Bookmap and so I feel there is no difference in which data plans they provide. So any specific reason why I should choose one type over another type? Which do you use?

Does anyone have experience with using Bookmap to trade CME Future in an IBKR account? I have set it up, the local connection works to link Bookmap to IBKR’s TWS platform. But there seems to be two issues: A) The one-click bracket orders seem to not go through fully, and I only get the main order (I never waited for a fill, just tried placing an open order). And B) It seems like when I choose Micro E-MINI S&P 500 from BookmapData (denoted MESU4) it does not match prices of any of the MES instruments (Sep, Dec, Cont., etc.) on the IBKR platform. I do not have IBKR real-time data subsriptions so I think their data are delayed which might explain. I can see my orders appear on the Sep’24 and Sep’24 Continuous (any ideas what the differece is?). And how to resolve these issues?
