Thanks. Yeah, I was bullish around 17000. I'm still fundamentally bullish. But I also TRADE. So, I got out a VERY long long time ago and just watched. This saved me a lot of pain. Smarter move would have been to short when the new high couldn't be breached. But in hindsight everything is so...

Who thinks there will be a bounce tonight? Or rather in a few minutes here when the market is opened? Don't you think it's a bit overdone? Geez. "July Rate Hike View Loses Favor On Stock Drop, Murakami Issue" New headlines today! Perhaps that's enough to drive it up... Plus short...

Sal and ssb, So, apaprently IB put the $2K into the FA account. So, can I also trade the FA acct while I wait for client's money to come in? Apparently when I try to put in a trade it said "Buy XYZ Unknown Reason". Do I need a reason to trade? hmm.. this is really odd. it has been liek...

i can't get GLOBEX quotes for EUR on IB too. hmm.

Sal, So, IB took teh $2K for my account. Where does it put it? I can't see it under Report Management. And for some reason there are 2 FA accoutn which has the SAME IDs! And I tried to generate a daily report but the balance is $0 though the $2K is already taken out of my bank. Also, I...

ssb, OK. So it doesn't matter that they have my same first 5 letters. They still hav eto fill out the personal info. Does IB need any human signature or can they just fill it out online adn then do the internal transfer deal? thnx, 99

Sal, I clicked on "Add Client" then for some reason it automatically generated a username log in using MY 5 letters. Similar to my FA log in though it has a U in front of it ?? Is this right? But my client has his own IB account which I'll transfer over using Internal Transfer feature. So...

Sal, Hmm.. This is confusing. Then why did they force me to deppsit $2K then? At least I put down $200. And they said no you have to read the minimum acct balance guidelines. So, now what? Do I hav eto wait fo rmy $2K to come into the account then wire it back out? Also, how do I add...

JackR, apparently, you still need to deposit the $2K to start! not the $20 for data feed. Then after that, I'll have to transfer my clients $ to the FA account, then i can withdraw the cash then.

SSB, How much do we need to fund the IB F&F aact? Also $2k? I thought the F&F adn clients should fund that. I saw that under Acct Managment, User Functions, there's an ability to add User. Is that how they should add me into them to make it a F&F? Please help. thanks

SideShowBob, Thanks for the info. Let's say some of my clients have IB accounts as well. Do they need to close that and somehow roll up into the F&F Advisor account? If so how? The thing is I completed the application process for F&F acct but IB keeps saying I need to fund it. I'm the...

hi all, in IB F&F account, how come they ask you to fund it? can't your f&f or clients fund directly? If so, how? thanks, 99
