Thank you very much for this suggestion and for the assistence you offered, I really appreciate it. I've called IB two more times, but it seems they are still not able to solve this issue. I've also just asked Technical Assistance what more I could possibly try to do on my site to get access to...

I'm sorry but I don't really understand your logic, I mean I don't want to close my positions at all. I never intended to close them, I am always monitoring my positions carefully and when necessary I will deposit more money into my account. When I do have access to account management, it's very...

Hi ZBZB, thank you for your suggestion. I tried that, but it didn't help at all. I tried to do this on an iPad, my pc and an Android tablet, but there's no difference whatsoever. It gives me the exact same error message. Maybe I could still try to use my old BlackBerry smartphone, I will do that...

Hello ktm, I myself have been with IB for a long time and I totally agree with you that their technology is close to 100% of the time really good. But you're right it really feels right now as if I am in a tiny little box from which I might never escape anymore. I can only hope that either @def...

Hi M.W., thank you too for your suggestion, but you see I don't want to close my positions, it's the opposite of what I want. I am very much concerned that I will be forced to close my positions if the market keeps moving against me. I am trading on margin and my excess liquidity is getting...

Hello Steve, thanks for your advice, but it sounds rather complicated to me. I've never done anything with ChatGPT so far. And I also know very little about legal issues. It does seem however something is needed to incentivize them to rectify the problem, because thus far they don't seem very...

Hi comagnum, thanks for your suggestion(s), but unfortunately it's not helping. I had already tried several browsers, including the ones on an iPad and an Android tablet. Clearing cache also didn't change anything. Thank you, it seems I could use some luck with this, I also wish you best of luck...

Hi Overnight, thank you for your reply, I fear however I don't understand what you're saying. I do understand that @def is someone who is connected to or working for IB, but I don't get the rest of what you mean, I am really sorry. Maybe it's because I am exhausted. Or maybe I am just dumb.

Hi all, Yesterday I received an e-mail from IB saying I needed to fill out a Non-Professional Questionnaire and do so before November 24 or my access to North American market data would be suspended. Well when I logged in yesterday this questionnaire immediately showed up. I answered all...

Ok, thank you, I really appreciate it. I've never traded CFDs before, so I haven't really looked into them so far. But it's good to know that besides MM CFDs, there are also the DMA CFDs. That's perhaps one concern less then. I'm thinking of trading some ETFs as CFDs, although the ones that I...

Thank you for pointing out yet another disadvantage of CFDs. And yes, also this one is a real problem. Certainly something to keep in mind. I do however see that when I add these CFDs in TWS that the bid and ask prices are exactly the same as the original stocks/ETFs. But obviously the conflict...

Thanks for your reply. That would indeed be a problem. And not one I would have expected. Nevertheless, if I have to choose between not being able to trade an ETF at all or being able to trade a CFD of that ETF with occasional such an issue, then I would probably still choose the latter...

Well, here's another 'very well EU protected' investor, but because of this 'protection' here's also a very furious and highly frustrated investor. Even before all of this I was already unable to find words for just how much I detest the EU, but now with what they've done this time to me... I am...
