I got a message some days ago that said my subscription bundle was being discontinued, but I didn't pay attention to it. Nevertheless I still have real-time data. Did anyone else get this notice, and what did you do, or what happened if you didn't do anything?

@kdunaway Thanks for the input! In addition to the experience setting that I had to increase, it seemed that my subscription "unfortunately had been terminated", so I had to get in and check the "opra US options" box to get back on track. Thanks for your help!

Hello fellow traders! Today I suddenly experience that Interactive Brokers tell me that I no longer have real time quotes of options, and give me the choice of going to "subscription page" or "delayed quotes. When scrolling through my subscriptions, I had to go through some pages regarding my trading experience (for stocks, bonds, options, futures and forex). When trying to keep the same levels of experience, I got noticed that I would no longer be able to trade options, futures, so I tried increasing both the experience (in years) and the number of trades per year to have this solved. But even I went through my subscriptions, I still get the same problem in TWS. Anyone that know about the problem and could help me out on what this could be? Thank you VERY MUCH in advance. This is almost a crisis situation for me :-O

Great, thanks! By the way, you have a "Volatility Trading" section on your "volatility and analytics" page that isn't shown in my page. Do you know how to enable it, and what does these settings actually do?

What is inline notifications?

Hi, experienced IB users! Suddenly today my "account - portfolio" shows profits and loss separately for each leg, but I want to go back to where the combo was shown (regarding both entrance prices, market prices and profits/loss). Anyone that knows what can have happened and how to go back to former "setting"? (I believe it must be some short-cut keyboard combination or me misclicking somewhere that has made the change). Thank you very much for helping! :-)

Thank you for quick answer! (This service is promising in many ways :-) I understand the ticket fee problem when scaling in and out of the trades (if that means going in and out of the trade with adding one or a few contracts several times over), but I couldn't see the commision problem when rolling all of a legs contracts to another strike price if the ticket fee + contracts fee is lower than IB contracts fee. But maybe the difference on contract commision fees has become much smaller than it was in 2012? I'm glad to be at the broker you recommend then. As new to your service, do you recommend any subscription on either of these data services for at least $39 a month (see pasted content below)? And is it more expensive to use TraderWorkStation than only the WebTrader service (I tried to find that in the price list, but couldn't find it)? If so, do you still recommend TraderWorkStation?

Hi investments friends! Greetings from Norway! (I'm a very new member here, so sorry if I ask about what most of you already know very well) Could someone give an update per autumn 2015 what broker is cheaper for what number of contracts per leg? Are 4 legs (2 legs when we buy and 2 legs when we sell) per trade the average for our trades? It feels like a small number as we adjust/roll quite often on each trade, right? Our recommended account sizes are $10K-$100K, and suppose we allocate 10% into each trade, we do trading of between $1000 and $10000 pr trade, so the larger accounts will often buy at least 10 contracts per leg, maybe a lot more. This thread started with mentioning TradeKing being cheaper (than IB) in 2012 when buying 5 contracts or more per leg (assuming 4 legs on each trade). But thats a long time ago, an update on commisions would be very nice!
