You can use Investor/RT with an IBKR Pro real-money account or with a paper account associated with this IBKR Pro real-money account and sharing the same data feed subscription. You can not connect with an IBKR Lite account, as it doesn't support any API connection.
First, create a Schedule (Object Manager > Schedule > New). Let's assume in this specific example that we want to open up both a chart and a quotepage. Your schedule should contain two Actions. The first action will be Open a Chart with your specific chart selected in the list. The second will be "Open a Quotepage" with your specific quotepage selected.
The Array User Variable (ARRAY) technical indicator will be instrumental in accomplishing an overall stop loss on a system which tests a basket/quotepage of stocks. In our example, we'll assume that our system is an intraday system running on a given quotepage of stocks, and when the overall system gets down a certain dollar amount, we want to get out of all positions and not re-enter until the next day. Otherwise, the process should be system-independent.
Assuming you have a system that goes both long (with BUY action) and short (with SELLSHORT action). And let's also assume we want to implement both a stop and a target on both the long and short trades. Let's also assume that we want the target to be 50 cents and the stop to be 25 cents.
In RTL, the token ENTRY gives us the entry price of any position. This token makes implementing stops and targets relatively simple.

Reason Number One
Investor/RT has long had the ability to add instruments to quotepages w/o having to open the quotepage to perform the addition. This is a somewhat hidden feature of the Quick Quote window.
Access to Market Breadth Indices and other Statistics like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc., are available at an additional cost if you are using DTN IQfeed or ESignal for real time data. To add these to your account, you will have to contact them directly. If you are feeding Investor/RT with a broker feed and using DTN Market Access for historical data, you may notice that these indices are available by downloading them but the data is not flowing in real time.
Dynamic Profiles allow the price action of the market to dictate the duration of a profile. As price continues to trade within a given range, a profile will continue to build. New profiles are only formed once price moves to new levels relative to recent bars.
