If you don't need level 2, then skip the Nasdaq total view, but if you don't have it with someone else, your going to want it. Even with all he suggests it just comes out to like $28 which is pretty good considering E*trade charges $99 a month for their pro platform.

And like another was saying, you can open a td ameritrade account and use their free thinkorswim platform which has level 2 and still trade with IB. That said, hopefully you'll be making enough trading to cover the $28 so if you don't want the hassle of making another account just bite the cost.

ok thanks but what do I have more with the level 2

Your gonna have to do some research on it. If you don't know what level 2 is then your not ready to start trading.
