Hello,

i've an EU account, so i am eligible to trade CFD. But i don't know how to trade CFDs in TWS.

I added AMD to my watchlist and selected CFD. Should i now click on it in the watchlist and send buy / sell orders in booktrader like trading normally? And can i trade CFDs in Pre market or after hours?

RE YOUR RESPONSE BELOW:

hmm, I've used TWS off & on since 2004 and the video shows use of TWS as it is now used and has always been used in my experience ...

As a US cust, I can't trade CFDs, so I can't give you everything on a silver platter; I suggest you now do a little more due diligence than you've showed so far.

If you exhaust Google, you might want to chat/call IB cust support ...

It is not updated video. Probably from 20 years ago, lol. TWS has been changed.

CONT of my full reply above: it may be that you are familiar only w/ the TWS Mosaic interface, as the video shows TWS Classic. But the latter is fully supported now, and the workflows for each are almost identical.

If you want to use TWS, you need to put in a little more due diligence, otherwise suggest you use a different IB trading interface.
