You can be any country citizen but if you hold a HK ID ( permanent or temporary resident ,it is much easier). I am not sure HK brokerages allow non HK ID holders to open securities trading a/c over internet. But if you go there, sure you can open a/c with your passport & overseas address & send...

Trading hours is very important if you intend to pull money out of the market on a daily basis. I'll say European time is best if you trade kind of DAX+ US markets. Only US trading I prefer California timing as you are done by 1.30 pm & can attend to other work.(only problem though-you got to...

I use QT (registered version ) with IB quotes. I miss the old forum in the QT site from where I picked a lot of info about paint bars. Today I will be blind with out them!!. It is a pity now QT is a part of Ameritrade & does not support forum. Not faulting their customer service though. Medved...

All nationalities trade us markets. Not all US brokerages handle non US customers well . Are you planning to open at IB UK or IB US? It does not matter much though. Fill the web form,print the page ,send it along with copy of passport,driver liecence ,address proof etc . when you get the a/c ref...

First I opened a cash a/c at IB wiring $ 3000 from bank. Then did a full transfer from OXPS to IB.Took 7 days I think. Instead of transfering large amount of cash( or cash out/wire in),bought SPY for the whole amount + & sold deep in the money call options. Transfer done much before option...

Lot of traders are talking about various countries to live & trade US markets. Apart from taxation,cost of living etc,I want to highlight the positive & negative aspects of time zone in conditioning your trading alertness/trading response.(for full time day traders) I have lived in Far East...

soory seems I have QM in my QT even though I have CLK7/M7 in my TWS. To get the approximate idea both are the same.volume differs ofcourse.

I trade mostly stocks,SPY ,IWM options. Correlating to oil, I trade 3 distinct different oil sub group stocks. Integrated/refiners/gassy stocks/Drillers/OSX service providers etc Because XOI/OSX does diverge with crude movement,recently strted trading USO to mimic CL. (same way GLD /gold...

As one poster suggested IB stimulated is as good as original for feeding real time quotes to QT charting software. I have done it most of the time. Lety us say you have 3 pcs linked thro router (single source broad band)& you can put the IP address of the main pc (where you are running TWS)...

As a non resident alien trading US markets since 1998, I will add my few cents! It is great to be a non resident alien for trading US markets because you dont pay capital gain taxes.(except with holding taxes on dividends & taxes on income from us real estate etc.(I have had Motels in US...

Hi Quiet Thanks for your reply & clarification that the exchange premium is far superior to Spot forex debit/credit interest. Exchange traded vehicle premium (like JPY cash to JYM7 premium) is cheaper than trying to gain over night interest from IB spot forex( as we loose 0.5% usual...
