Please give me some kind of direction. I wouldn't have come here if I planned to continue "ignorantly clicking a video game". I'll take a step back and trade only 1 contract for as long as I need to, which I've started doing prior to this initial post. Are there any recommendations on data feed/order entry providers you have? ToS is constantly "reconnecting" if I tab out to browse something. My orders are 100% of the time toxic fills. I know it's easy to look at people like me and just say "okay well your entry was wrong anyway". But I know there's something to only using ToS as my broker, data feed, and order entry. I just can't shake the feeling I'm at a disadvantage on top of the fact that I'm new.

second @TheShrike ' s advice. Don't trade real money until you get all your trading system, broker, order questions answered. no need to burn real money until you have these basics down. If anything, use SIM and work out a trading system. If your stops are getting "run", its another reason, no one is hunting You. There are lots of resources on this forum such as the Spoos Thread (start from the beginning). Just read and learn before spending real money. I learned this the hard way also. We want you to not waste your money!
