    [IB] asks phone number for authentication

    Nobody deny providing legal info (personal) such as SSN and address, including me. I agree those are for possible accident in margin account, similar requirement for opening credit card account. That is true for most states and countries. However someone deny/dislike to show "certain detail"...

    [IB] asks phone number for authentication

    Of course I should give address in case I owe money to brokers for loan. Possible Lawsuit requires address in the court. NO OBJECTION at all. If I were chair of IB, then I may say "No address no customer".

    [IB] asks phone number for authentication

    It is the law to keep name and address for long time (at least 100 years) inside broker's file. No one argues it. It is the duty of customer for receiving paper mail. Any court judge will think like me. However, I may fly abroad frequently so that I cannot receive any phone signal. I guess it...

    [IB] asks phone number for authentication

    I agree that we should use passcode or OTP at least for identification. If you mean that one should choose ONE of passcode+OTP+cellphone, then no problem at all. However note that fingerprint (at the photo) may not be a good idea.

    [IB] asks phone number for authentication

    Since NYSE shows highest top last months, it might be a best time to leave market after cashing all equities. We may no see the index of 21000 any more next 10 years. Asking phone may result to customer leaving forever.

    Travelling/Nomad Traders

    20 years, as long as internet connection costs a lot, I never and ever use big money for connection. I just mean that with nominal fee such as at Starbucks at the most, we can use internet anywhere in city so that we are free to trade anywhere. Specifically, roughly 20 to 30 bucks a month is...

    Even 20 years ago where there was NO internet/WiFi, no one imagined it. Over the last 2000 years, internet was the significant tool to human, I think.

    Rent an office or trade from home?

    Of course, some (not all) has table with power. Furthermore, for the EST at NYSE, 1) if you live in LA, you can play golf afternoon everyday. 2) if you live in Paris or Singapore, you can enjoy life other than trading too. Some country ask little tax rate, compared with US 1040.
