Hello everyone ! Imagine simple situation, I'm long some ordinary US stock (let it be IBM) and short another ordinary US stock (let it be MO). During this particular year I have received $1000 in dividends from IBM and I also paid $1000 dividends as a short seller to an owner of MO shares ...

So you think that they want to know source of all the money that I have ? For example if there are money on banking account that is not related to IBKR then they still want to know how have I gained it (inheritance/salary etc) ? Or if I have a house then I should explain where did I get money...

Could you please clarify , what is the difference between "Source of funds" and "Source of wealth" ? It's not clear for me...

I'm in the same boat. Source of Wealth and Proof of Identity requests. Also outside of US and trading as an individual. Problem is that I have deposited quite a small amount of money 10+ years ago and later just compounded it for many years so it's really not clear what can I send as "Source of...

Thanks for your answer. I never faced this situations before so in practical meaning it's not clear for me whether the probability of short call being assigned depends on moneyness or not. I suppose that if for example stock is fluctuating between 100 and 110 then call with strike 100 has less...

Hello everyone ! I would appreciate help regarding my question. Let's imagine that there is an optionable stock and company don't pay any dividends. Options are priced so far as there will be no dividends at year 2020. I'm ready to bet that the company will start to pay big dividends soon but...

Post an update later about that, pls. I would like to be wrong actually :)

You will not be able to trade with RPi 4. IB offers only x86 linux package , it's impossible to run it on ARM processor. The only option is using of emulator but it is ridiculously slow. Some guys reported that it takes 1-2 minutes just to launch a browser in emulated windows envoronment. And...

As you can see in first message, one of my questions was exactly about the amount of money that I should invest in fund initially.
