New statements contain following Legal Note:
"1. Please promptly report any inaccuracy or discrepancy in this statement, or in your account. Contact the IB Customer Service Department in writing using the form available on the IB website. You may also contact IB by phone, but if you report an error by phone, you should re-confirm such oral communications in writing â¦â.
(Interestingly, Old statements do not have such Legal note.)
New statements contain too much information. Notably values related to P/L (these are not even required to be shown). In last 3 weeks, IB has fixed some items; but other errors have appeared. And people keep on requesting additional new functions. This means we can expect more changes and more bugs in the future.
I have no use for this additional information, did not request it and certainly do not have the time to check and to report all inaccuracies in writing as the Legal note implies. All I need on statements are accurate reports of transactions (like buys, sells, dividend distributions, corporate actions, cash, â¦), positions and balances. Everything else should be optional.
IB, please keep LEGACY statements for now! You already have them (so should not cost much to maintain). Fix the New statements, so customers can filter all unnecessary fields out (or remove the Legal Note obligation about reporting inaccuracies).
