It will be very recognizable by your account meanwhile.. LOL

seems there is to worry about margin call. Gold was kept by a lot of weak hands and finally is on the verge of collapsing.

Tradestation had a massive outage overnight a couple of years ago. Trade desk unresponsive for 3-4 hours. On that event I realized how important is a backup plan including your co-located server.

What You mentioned is right. I have transferred to TW USD from IB before Jan 2019 before they issued the rule to add a code on your transfer which can't be done with IB. But we can transfer from IB to Revolut in Euro. Then convert for free Eur to USD at Revolut. And even transfer to TW for free...

It seems to me that You do not know what futures are. And You totally ignore what low margins are. I do now know if IB is primarily a securities broker but since They are offering futures and option trading (including naked selling) as well this is my wish. Probably Schwab is what I can think of...

open another brokerage account so You can hedge in emergency situations..

REvolut and TW are almost equal. Revolut is a prepaid card. For main currencies exchange is better Revolut while for exotic currencies is better TW. Revolut apply a % fee over the week end when forex is closed. Both nice options.

Hopefully They will issue IB debit card for non US citizens soon. I doubt that would be the case tough. Luckily I can use TW debit card which is not a prepaid debit card.

High margin agree, 25k $ for dax equal to 1000 point (a bit less) for few hours of market closing is unreasonable. Your comment is clueless .

One thing needs to be improved at least a bit are margins.. ~ 25k for dax overnight is unacceptable.

I think Isystems could be a valid alternative to C2.

trade leader: monthly fee & 50% of what developer earn from subs. investor: autotrading fee & sub system fee. The results of those changes that came recently (especially the 50% fee on what developers earn ) have been less valuable systems available on the platform and an exodus of many...

The main downside are the fees charged by C2. The other one is that there are no investors over there but mainly gamblers. To not mention that You will not have any controls on the contracts traded once You will get some subs.

I think You may find data for ES not sure 100% about that. But Yes, You will need to upload the tickers You want to analyze/testing and You have to be careful about that, There is a video with all the instructions to do it properly and get meaningful results in return. Yes I am currently trading...

I have purchased GSB last December. Overall very happy. I have used as well other 2 similar software before but this one offer the most advanced features in term of customization of the data You want to analyze and verify. Developer also very responsive and helpful to provide technical support...

In my experience IB costumer support quality change a lot in relation to the time You reach them. For instance, overnight when You get in touch with HK is the best. People knowledgeable, patient and fast to reach You. Europe mixed feeling. Italy was good I would say, London so and so with the...

So I have a technical question related to the settings Prefer Smart - No default destination that can be found in the configuration settings: Ib custumer support mentioned that this setting should make no difference when US futures are traded and that answer seems to make sense. Is this your...

Things is that IB doesn't care much about losing a bunch of costumers permissions. And those that are big enough providing good fee to IB are not harmed by the new regulations.

I guess a way to avoid this would be close and reopen the account.

Note that the server that our accounts are connected with are not dependent with the residency and thus IBUK or IBHK. I have requested a while ago to switch to the IBUs server and I am able using the US server since then. It took around a week and the switch happened over the week end. I agree...
