First let me thank you for your patience and willingness to educate me. I actually held a 2.5 lot short position for about 10 days. So, what you're basically telling me is that since I have -241.95 EUR (interest payable) I have to buy 242 EUR on IDEAL? Then adjust my position to 0, and ignore...

I actually got a response to my ticket just now :D (the one I wrote today....amazing what a litte whinning on ET can do!) Same response as yours!! Interest payable in EUR. So how do I settle this bill I've got??? Many thanks in advance...

That's just great.....extremely reassuring..... Still doesn't make sense to me.....how about you???

Well...since I have your attention. As a representative of Interactive Brokers....how do you suggest I go about rectifiying the situation?

I wrote my first problem ticket on the 10th and the second went out on the 13th. Unless IB recognizes extra national holidays that I'm not aware of....I'm pretty sure I gave ample time to respond to my request. EDIT: Why erase your post? DEF.....

Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on here? I thought I had it figured out, but I obviously don't.....I show a 0 position in EUR yet my net liquidation value is -241.95 and I still have a current initial margin of 7.13. Finally on the bottom you will see a -.80 market value for a...

Try again after 12pm, sunday.....

What are the logisitcs of applying to a prop in Korea? Do you need a S7 (or equivalent)? I just got to Korea 7 days ago. It's F-ing FREEZING here!

For future reference (for others who may need this info later) If you right-click on whatever currency that is showing in your "market value" section of your account window you will see an option to "close all non-base currency positions". This will close out whatever positions you have...

OK...one more question....... How do I get rid of the .54 if my market value is 19.54 EUR

sir....you are a true gentelman and a scholar. Thank you so much for your time and, most importantly, patience..... -John:)

please excuse my ignorance....how would I make this psuedo trade to change whatever EUR into USD? Thanks in advance!!

no one with any idea????? Come on fellas...throw me a bone here.....

So, I¡¯ve been trading forex on IB for a bit. My problem is, that I don¡¯t have any open positions, yet my account summary shows 19.54 in EUR with a current initial margin of 6.49. Why does this bother me? Because my account is being plundered on a daily basis. I¡¯ve included a bmp...

Still can't get passed the initial log-on screen. WTF?!

Anyone else?

what a wonderful day to be in the market, indeed :D

Just put him on your ignore list. I did it the first time I read one of his posts. And please!!! Stop quoting his threads (the only way I see his posts) I feel dumber every time I read anything he writes.....

All I know is the BEST hackers in the world come from Korea. (Seen in last years worldwide hacking competition) And every bank in Korea uses the same security device that IB currently uses. That has to say something.

I would say #1 is pretty easy to accomplish these days. Just fund your account with 25k and as soon as it drops below....IB won't let you trade :D (Well, if you're a pattern day trader that is...)
