My data vendor replied to me as follows: ********************************************************************************************** Firstly, it is nice to virtually meet you, I look after the Market Data Product. Secondly, I’ve read the below email chain regarding your requirements...

Thank you 2rosy !

Thanks for the suggestions. I would like to receive the real time positions. For example, if "Barclays Capital" buys 100 ES the report is updated immediately. The services you have indicated are not real time.

The following Nasdad's service provides the real time positions of the stocks' market maker. https://nasdaqtrader.com/TraderNews.aspx?id=ETU2013-10 I would like to receive the real time positions of all the Market Participant (MPID) on the futures. Is there a service providing these data? Thank you.

I am an Interactive Brokers European client whose account has been moved to Ireland (IBIE) after Brexit. I only trade futures intraday and at the end of every day my account has only cash. In case of insolvency/bankruptcy of IB, is it more safe to have the money in the "commodity account" or in...

This topic has already been discussed, in this same thread, a few posts before.

@kotika, I trade futures all over the world, including Asia and Australia. The only big problem IB has (from my point of view) is its bad customer service.

@kotika, if I leave the money at my bank I cannot use it for trading. The money I have at IB must be used entirely for trading. Obviously I don't have all my money in IB's account.

I can speak from direct experience because I was involved in the failure of MF Global and also in the failure of Refco. Those who had an account to trade stocks or futures have recovered everything (even if after a long time). Those who had an account to trade on unregulated products (for...

I agree 100%

Dear nooby_mcnoob , Currency option are priced keeping into consideration the difference value between the two currencies interest rates. In the end, the cost that I would have to pay would be identical if not bigger than what I pay to IB keeping my cash in Eur.

Dear Angelo_60, I agree with your point of you. I have contacted IB customer support and they have told me that the €100.000 is valid for every account and not on the total liquidity amount you have with IB. So if for example you have €100.000 on the main account and €100.000 on the sub...

Tonyf I totally agree your opinion.

Dear tonyf, Thank you for your reply but I have a different point of view. In relation to the first point, holding position in currencies other than your base currency is always a risk and I wouldn't like to have any not calculated risk. Eventually I could have a maximum 15% account of non Eur...

Dear Tonyf, Thank you for your reply but this solution does not work. If I'd buy USD treasuties I would have again the risk of the exchange rate with the Euro as my base currency is Euro. Moreover when buying treasuries (as with any other bonds)IB asks you a maintenance margin and in this way I...

Thanks Tonyf, this is a solution that I had evaluated, but in my case it is not applicable because I should have several dozen sub-accounts with all the complications that would result for their management.

Thanks Tonyf, this is a great idea, but it is not applicable to my case because the value of my IB account is several million euros, while the maximum value for not paying interest expense (up to tier cut off) is only 100,000 $ or equivalent. Even if I distributed over 10 currencies related to...

Dear HobbyTrading, Thank you for your suggestions. 1) If I'd buy USD or any other currency I would have the risk for the movement of the currency and this is a risk I would not like to have. In fact I live in Europe and I can't risk to have USD in my portfolio. 2) If I'd by any stocks I would...

At the moment on EUR account bigger than €100,000 , IB is charging a negative interest rate of 1.1%. Has anyone of you found a solution to avoid such expensive cost? I trade only futures. I need to take advantage of all off my liquidity at every moment to be able to use the maximum leverage in...

Where can i get the historical Bloomberg consensus forecasts related to crude oil inventory announcements ? Unfortunately, Bloomberg is not keen to sell data to private customers like me. Thanks!
