Dear- Most beginner might be curious about time to send order to IB server. As a strictly equity trader, my personal trading logic requires lots of orders(such as 100 to 500) for BUY/SELL. I know regular hours of order are between 9:30AM and 4:00PM EST. Some please tell me exact hours that...

Yours might be true this year. Please note that someone with valid US Diver License and SSN can open IB account thru internet-connection, even though he has NO US residence pemit or NO US employer, and even he does NOT stay in US. Also US citizen who stay in Japan can open Japan brokerage...

I agree you that we NEVER promise 23% any more. Probably your 23% is not certain and will not be backed by your own money. Most traders had experience of 23% IN CERTAIN PERIOD before.

In China main market, it is NOT allowed for foreigner to open brokerage account and trade, unlike most countries (US, Europe, Japan). But in few years later, we guess that China will open the market to foreigner, as before like Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Does anyone know how and where to open...

Dear- Even though I am a beginner in IB, there was some progress in automatic trading. Instead of API, we used selenium with C# to 1) connect and login in IB paper account. 2) get current positions 3) deliver order matrix (prepared by other program in local PC) to IB server...

Thanks for the exact answer that I wish to hear.

With this assumption, how much he is supposed to pay tax and comm for the next 50 years and for the next 400 years? Freely assume his initial seed of 10K or 100K.

Furthermore note that stock market was running 400 years. If someone has a logic with annual compounded 16% for the last 400 years, then probably Buffet ans Gates is now broke with no asset. / How much is 1.16^400? Of course someone should be some family, such as Rothschilds with at least 10...

Suppose you have a record of annual 23% after commission. Then you must pay 1040 in 30% tax bracket, for example. Final return after all comm+tax is therefore roughly 23*(7/10) =16%, with assumption of annual compounding. If you are sure to compound your logic next 50 years, under your...

In programming work, we should specify order of choice, to the computer who is as childish as elemantary school student. Probably the following logic might be OK. 1) choosing NYSE first 2) NASDAQ second 3) AMEX thirdly. For the three choices, most SnP500 will be included, isn't it? Of course...

Probably you understood, even though my English is poor. All the NASDAQ listing is shown at ftp://ftp.nasdaqtrader.com/symboldirectory/nasdaqlisted.txt. 1) How about and where NYSE listing? Please tell me the link. 2) Is all 500 SnP (major companies in US) in the NASDAQ and NYSE? 3) If so...

Dear- Beginner has two questions on IB. 1) In the "account" menu in web page, there are "Positions" and "Portfolio". Those two seems same for me (only equity trader). Please show me when the two are different, with a explanatory example. 2) As soon as login, I always see the screen attached...

Since there was no reply, this thread is moved to other section in ET. I (OP) do not mind if moderator delete this post.

If I see the IBPy clip at it seems that API can direct "SMART" automatically. Is there similar way (avoiding choice), in web trading?

Dear- As a beginner, most traders are curious about choice of the market. Since one does NOT know which market is bigger than others, I usually choose NYSE or NADAQ As attached below (IB capture), is it OK to choose one with letter "NASDAQ" , out of two? Please correct me if I am wrong. My...

Thanks for replying. Below is a few hundred of Japan equities and more than 20 Korea futures, which can be tradable in IB. https://www.interactivebrokers.com.hk/en/index.php?f=exchanges&p=asia However, currency exchange is difficult. If there is no loss or almost no loss in currency...

Therefore, IB takes the margin for exchange rate between the two currency. As a beginner, I do not know how to find "all tradable instruments on KRX exchange." in IB, as well as Japan exchange. Appreciate if someone show me menu or screen capture.

Dear- For example, well-known stocks such as Samsung Galaxy, can be traded as a future. I was able to see IB-tradable shown as below. 1) Is the trading US dollar based? OR should I prepare Korean currency? 2) Which chart do I need to see? 3) Similarly, how can I find IB-tradable lists for the...

It does NOT matter he is MIT or phsycist. If he can make annual 20% for sure, then 1) he should show 100*1.2^5 = 248.832 for the last 5 years with initial seed as much as 100. 1) he should show 100*1.2^10 = 619.1736 for the last 10 years with initial seed as much as 100. He can continue for...
