Quote from luisHK:
Actually I do have 2 account, IBUK is used for Cfds and IB llc for all or most other products AFAIK. If you are looking for a similar set up (but reading your OP it seems a bit different), it's pretty easy to use and the portfolio is consolidated under a single window. You'd need to monitor where the funds are beeing held precisely though, as you could be charged margin on the A subaccount when available funds are sitting idle in the B subaccount, you could also see GBP on your account window and want to buy USD with it for instance, but end up keeping the original GBP in 1 subbaccount and borrow the same amount of GBP in the other subaccount, than be charged for borrowing it. A little confusing at first.
Thanks.
I only trade options on FTSE100. I donot want to trade CFD. Do I still need another a/c? Thanks
