I am non-US resident. KOSPI futures looks fine. Do you mean on real account i can trade KOSPI options as well? Because on the IB website, it only shows the commision for KOSPI futures. I dont really know whether options is available and how much will it cost since the options mulitiplier is only...

I try to trade KOSPI options from Korea on my paper account. The order cannot be submitted. I thought i didnt check the korea options on my trading permission page. Then i go to the page and cannot find options for korea. So does that mean i cannot trade KOSPI options? or am i missing something...

That's gotta be the best thing out there. Here is another question i have. For IDEALPRO, i can buy japanese yen on 5% margin. So, say i put up 5K USD for 100K USD worth of japanese yen. Let say i now have 11.2 Mil yen (112.00 * 100K) on IDEALPRO. Is my buying power in japanese stocks actually 5K...

Say i want to avoid the free falling dollar. So, i buy the japanese equities in yen. Can i exchange my USD in IDEALPRO and buy japanese stocks using the yen i bought from IDEALPRO?

So, if i have say 25K euro, and i want to withdrawl it to my bank account in US, i can still use idealpro? Also, if i want to buy japanese equities, i can use idealpro to buy japanese yen and use the yen i bought from idealpro to buy japanese stocks?

How can i get MOC orders on TWS? For types, i can only choose LMT, MKT, STP, STP LMT, TRAIL. Do i need to activate anything or change any settings? Thanks a lot in advance.

I am new to IB. I checked the foex IB Ideal for forex conversion, the spread is 10 pips. For example, the euro is 1.2750@1.2760, canadian is 0.8910@0.8920. Is it really that cheap to convert my money into foreign currencies? or is this quote just for forex trading. Because as far as i the...

I am wondering if you can write your own indicator for eSignal. Does eSignal have its own easylanguage? I am using tradestation right now, but have no access to foreign data. I just opened an account with IB and is looking to plot foreign stocks data with my own custom indicator. Can anyone...

I understand that. But my question is, once your account is suspended because you violated the PDT rule, are you suspended in a way that you cant trade futures and foreign stocks as well?

The question i have is for an IB account, if it is flagged with a pattern day trader and with less than 25K in equity. It would be frozen for a period of time. Does that mean frozen for everything or just US Stocks? Can i still trade futures and foreign equities while the account is frozen...

go to capitalspreads.com, no commision, just a little spread. No account minimum, available to canadian. You can bet as little as $1 per tick on most of the stocks on the nasdaq and NYSE. I think this is the only way to go if you dont even have 2K. If i refer you, we both get 50 bucks in...

Time to get a squawk box. At least you will still hear what's the latest quotes from the pit. I use realtimefutures.com, i never miss a single tick.

Long time capital spread customer. Works fine for me. Good service, within 3 sec. someone will pick up the phone

Merrill has direct access where we can excute trades ourself? I have to admit tho., the only place for a unviersal account which you can trade everything is probably firms like merrill, bank of america. I dont think they want to talk to you if you dont have at least 20 million in asset.

A stop of 26K was triggered at around 11:40. The market went from 10124 to to 10201 and back to 10124 in a couple of minutes. Anyone on the floor know what happened? I think someone has to type in the wrong quantity. How can you put a stop for 26K when the market is doing less than 200K a...

How can you lose when you try to hold the position in bonds? The bonds has been going one way since Feb. man. STRAIGHT DOWN! If only you sold it somewhere in the middle, you could have made 100K at least on 6 lots. Do you just go in and out long and short faster than you can click it?

Thanks a lot for the reply. But, it doesnt matter. Coz i will hook it up to a 3rd party software.

"it does not matter if you use ideal or idealpro it gets converted either way ... only with idealpro the amounts have to be bigger but the spreads are better ... so if you can use idealpro you should ..." From what i understand, you dont get real currency for IDEALPRO. The foreign...
