    IB Entities and Trading Permissions: Seeking Clarity on Asian Futures

    Thanks for your insight, def. The US sanctions on Chinese stocks might indeed be influencing my trading issues. I've already raised a ticket with IB, highlighting not only the unexpected trading restrictions on Hang Seng, KOSPI, and DAX, but also an inconsistency in my account's regulatory...

    IB Entities and Trading Permissions: Seeking Clarity on Asian Futures

    Withholding on Publicly Traded Partnerships effective 1/1/2023

    Just noticed that Ib is stepping down to restrict the ability (if requested) to trade ptp securities; The setting "PTP Trading Opt In-Out" is located in settings above trading permission.
