Thanks. I read the whole manual and it is quite clear, however I'm trying to figure out couple of things: 1. Do I need to contact IB to get this "Simulated account"? (I now use the demo account) 2. Do I need to fund an account before opening real account in IB? (I guess only real account will assure me the quotes are for real...)
