It's important to set the boxes as last to be liquidated. Though this is not guaranteed by IB's auto-liquidation algorithm.

Having several bad experience with Schwab, I am not positive if Schwab would let you trade better on a box than with IBKR. More expensive is a likely yes. I would think that you should not have the exact same but opposite legs on two boxes in your account. They may cancel each other and cause...

for milking as much possible from its unaware customers: i.e. charging 7-8% margin interest rate at 0% cost of funds, and other trade manipulations (e.g. excessive commissions on a plain vanilla high-yield corp bond trades). They might as well screw you on such box spread trades.

First, you need to convert your IBKR account to Portfolio Margin. You need to put much more than the minimum $100K equity requirement. On IBKR mobile app's watchlist look for SPX. Click Options. Scroll to desired date you wish for the tenor of the loan (the longest for now being Dec 14, 2023)...

TradeStation Global in UK which runs on IBKR platform suits best your needs. Using European brokers to trade US stocks is like throwing your money into trash can: you pay the high commissions, custody fees and possibly high stamp duty taxes (e.g. Swissquote). Not sure if Sweden has capital gain...

So far only IBKR provides the best margin loan interest rate among online brokers i.e. with a spread of 1.5% over the cost of fund. i.e. for USD around 1.56% for the 1st USD100,000.- of a loan. Schwab and Fidelity offer obscenely choking high rates at 7-8% pa for USD loan. This is really wrong...

Many ultra high networth persons and hedge funds with billion dollars asset use a single brokerage as it is easier...
