Chart the symbol under IDEAL-Pro, not IDEAL.

Here's a screenshot of the futures vs IDEAL-Pro on IB. Spreads are similar for USD crosses. However, there is barely any liquidity in the non-USD futures.

IB - 25k minimum trade size. 2k minimum account opening. Currency Futures vs FX - depends on what currency pair. If you have an IB account you can put them on the screen side-by-side and take your pick.

IB. Plus the brokers that allow you to trade against another customers order. Only the brokers with ECN/exchange type models will allow this. If you are with a standard FX broker, then they are the only firm making a market and you trade against their quote. All of them will need a...

Select "XT" only in Trading Class (European Class options)

Volumes are so-so, but growing and the exchange is pushing the product hard, so I'd expect volumes to only get better. There are active market-markers quoting two-sided markets and spreads seem pretty reasonable. Official volumes you can get from the exchange website, www.cme.com You can also...

You could simulate all of these yourself using the TWS Alerts introduced in TWS 849.

Do an ACATS request. You can do this from Account Management.

Midknight, I think you maybe miscalculating. For SGXNK the unbundled rate at 300-1000 contracts is equal to the bundled rate. (We should be lowering the JPY unbundled rates shortly).

We'll have it before the end of the year. Rates will not be as low as US equities, however, I doubt you will find it cheaper anywhere else. We'll be in the same ball park as the cheapest Japanese brokers - which tend to only accept Japanese residents and do not have English websites or trading...

Should be this month, everything is virtually ready to go.

Smoothtrader, I will start again. The Hong Kong server reset is from 16:05-16:15 Hong Kong time. During this time customers systems are reset on a sequential basis, and you will experience a one minute outage. We've built what is/will be the most competitive and transparent FX platform...

Smoothtrader, Yes it will be 15:05. The downtime for you will not be one hour. It will be 10 minutes maximum, probably alot less.

SmoothTrader: Yes, that's right for the HK time. Server reset times are listed on the System Status page here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/systemStatus.php?ib_entity=llc Simulated orders are on the IB-server side, not the PC. Simulated orders will not be cancelled but...

The currency positions are kept in the securities part of the account. Sweeps are made every day. Excess cash in the commodities account is swept into the securities account. Lloyds policy copy, I guess so. I'm not sure, I've never been asked for it. You may prefer to contact me directly...

Soon. Sooner if you promise to trade lots of them :D

2 cents, I really don't know the intricacies of Canada vs US vs UK protection. However, if you open an account with IB, the entity is determined by the information you provide. If you are in Canada then it will be with IB Canada, in Europe with IBUK, otherwise it will be IB in the US...

Select Real-Time Chart (not Historical Chart) on IB and you'll have a real-time intraday chart. This provides a maximum of one month data - and there doesn't seem to be any bad ticks at the moment.

CPT - if you would like an all-in rate, then you can just select the Bundled Commissions. These are offered for clients that prefer to deal this way. Data fees are charged by the exchange - if we priced these into your fees you would end up paying more. Every fee charged to your account is...

It wasn't set-up originally. If you would trade it then PM me with details. We could add it if you would trade it. zf_trader - Commission is charged in the trading currency. Check your statement and it will be clear.
