Thanks, I appreciate the help Well, guess what? I don't have the item "Interest details" in my options. Perhaps because I'm under IBUK? Anyway, I do have a rather useful item corresponding to total cash. I believe that will be enough.

Do you remember the name of it? Is it part of one of the standard reports or it works like an API integration? I am asking because IBKR customer service is very reluctant in interpreting questions beyond the immediate.

Hi all, I have a question related to computation of accrued interest, which in my case is originating from trading fx crosses with non-synchronous delivery date. Delivery date can be asynchronous either by convention (for example, CAD.USD settles at T+1 whereas most of crosses settle at T+2) or...

Unfortunately not, and it seems IBKR is silent about it apart from the festivity calendar. I asked for a confirmation to the help desk and I'll report back in case

PROBLEM SOLVED. IF YOU TRADE SPOT FX, READ HERE BECAUSE IT VERY LIKELY INTERESTS YOU AS WELL: I was illuminated by IBKR. Our intuition was correct. Some currency pairs settle at T+2, whereas other pairs settle at T+1. The gap generates an implicit financing which accrues on a daily basis...

It's quite mysterious. My ZAR cash account is nil (the script is built to zero all balances apart from EUR) and by going through the entire transaction list, I confirm the net of the 500 transactions is a debt of 1.5 ZAR.

Hi HobbyTrading, thanks for answering. I can confirm that all debt is caused by ZAR, which is then converted into the base currency (GBP). I fail to understand the debt magnitude as the margin was opened with borrowing GBP, which got exchanged in EUR and then ZAR-EUR, EUR-ZAR etc.

Hi all, During the previous week I did 500-1000 trades on ZAR spot currency in my IBKR demo account with some software I developed. I took 50k from my base currency (GBP) and converted in 100k EUR (i.e. buy 100k EUR.GBP on margin). This generates a +100k EUR and a -50K GBP position. I then...

Hello everybody, I am selling my Matlab script for automatic trading with IG market. IG Market offer a free way to connect their data and order stream to matlab. However, I appreciate there are currently no simple on-shelf script available to the general public to do the actual linkage. As I...

I think "good python devs" are happy with their own solutions, unless for some reason they are not able to port their machinery inside a matlab environment, which is unlikely at best. There is a large variety of users which have some understanding of Matlab, have the willingness and capabilities...

Hi, The API is basically done. I implemented a couple of strategies but I'm sure experienced traders can do better. I plan to post a video of the machinery while operating as soon as I have some time. I sold one copy of the API at 1000€ but I am unsure about the price I shall ask. How much would...

I'm actually using it, even if the bear week is preventing a through adoption in index markets. As I am basically a PhD student who lives on a scholarship, I am reluctant to employ more than the 30% of some liquidity I earned with a couple of good CW operations during the Summer. Consequently...

It is the amount I was offered by someone from IG platform. But as elitetrader.com users are the most expert and used to this type of market, I thought about coming here and ask. How much would you think it would be fair to ask, as fair price? Most of the work is into creating the actual...

Hello, I am currently writing an API on matlab which enable the account holder to basically handle all the streaming quota which he is entitled. At the current stage, I wrote a couple of trading strategies for index trading (DAX, CAC40 and NASDAQ) and FOREX. The latter, mainly as a benchmark to...
