I wanted to confirm IB customers (API and TWS) can customize their SMART routing to rest their unmarketable orders on the exchange with the highest rebate. Available strategies include: Smart - Routes your non-marketable order to the default exchange for the contract. Highest...

biemster, I've been through a week’s worth of our production data. The spread is never larger than $.02 on the TWS and is always consistent with the quote on Bloomberg. The spread is normally $.01. Because there isn't massive liquidity on the stock, a customer can artificially create a wide...

Interactive Brokers is an option for Australian customers and probably every other country targeted by this mass force closure. While we are not privy to the TD timeline, we will do everything possible to assist customers transferring under a deadline. Please make sure to alert your new account...

JamesL is spot on. Our demo is for prospective customers to test drive the platform. See how they like our order entry options, news and research facilities, and our suite of risk management tools. Market data is old and playing 24 hours a day. You cannot use it to test a strategy.

Elite Members, I wanted to update any Indian residents or NRIs looking for a broker of some changes IB has made to accommodate the needs of Indian traders. In additional to a complete overhaul of our services for India customers, from application on boarding to daily trade support, some of...

Thank you for pointing that out. All three contracts are offered through IB.

Currently you have to be a resident or an NRI (Non Resident Indian), however, customers can trade the Nifty at IB on the SGX.

It's also important to point out Non Indians can trade the Nifty on the SGX. The futures contract, being a basket of Indian Stocks, was up 30% in trading volume last year and 70% over the last two years. It's a great way to access the market for Non Indians and for Indian Residents and NRIs...

Just to clarify, you can be an NRI (Non Resident Indian) and trade the India markets through IB. NRI NRIs are defined in the Indian Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999 and the Indian Foreign Exchange Management Deposit Regulations of 2000. In short, to qualify for NRI status you...

The web link you point to has nothing to do with our FA offering or this conversation. It's a service for entities who execute at IB and give up to other clearing firms. Not IB adviser accounts. For the account structure we are discussing, IB does not allow post trade allocations for the reason...

Swan, You need the firms that allow this to comment. I can tell you IB does not allow post trade allocations for exactly the reason you describe. If it's allowed, cherry picking between winners and losers will occur. Sal

BillCH, If there is a problem, we will fix it. Please PM me your trade details and account number and I will investigate the issue and resolve any problem. Making (incorrect) assumptions about how someone does their job and then posting them on a forum with their full name isn't...

kgoodfl, This is a frequent complaint and misunderstanding in the allocation logic. If you use a group based on account financials for a specific amount of shares, we will allocate based on the available funds, net liq value, etc, at the time of execution. If you attempt to close the position...

Without knowing what your trades prices were or your cash balance, it's difficult to answer the question. If you want to assume the following, maybe it will help clear things up. You deposit 10k in cash You purchase 20k in stock You short 10k in stock Cash is separated into long &...

We hope the release from traditional to roth will be released this week.

We create these policies to protect your cash. Imagine someone gains access to your IB account. PULLS money out of your bank account (unique ability specific to ACHs), and then sends it to another bank account. Our policies are logical. If you find one you think does not make sense, I would...

Tomorrow you can return the funds to the bank they were sent from and send them anywhere you'd like. They are no stuck at IB for 2 months.
