So glad I found this video, I have really taken to trading in trading view it was easy to absorb all the information but after paper trading for months I found it most difficult to find a broker, when I finally did with Interactive I ran in into almost every issue on this video, Thank you so much for taking the time, helped me immensely and fingers crossed I can now start this exciting journey.

To avoid being logged out, I use a chrome extension called tab reload, which would reload the tab in time intervals set at your discretion

[@ZietInvests]

Ah i see, that is a smart trick!

[@andreasl33]

a brief update: tab reload does not seem to work well with background tabs anymore. I checked alternatives and many of them requested permission to read all the website's content, which I think is unnecessary for such a basic extension and also dangerous when it comes to banking. In in end, I settled for "tab auto refresh", which does not require to read the website and reliably does what it should.

Hi Andrej, yes I would recommend you to convert to USD at a lump sum manually to save you the cost for repetitive conversion for each individual trade. Re your conversion during trade, you will still be charged 2 USD, its just bundled in such a way you didnt see the 2 USD subtracted from your cash balance. Hope this clarifies!

Hi there, it looks like you need to apply for options trading permissions in your account settings. IBKR requires clients to have the necessary trading permissions for different types of securities and strategies. You can apply for these permissions through your account management page. Once you've applied, it might take a little time for the permissions to be granted. If you need a hand with the process, the Interactive Brokers customer service team is usually very responsive.

Just want to know is there any difference in pricing because of base currency is different from Stock exchange ? Also it is USD currency in IB to buy USD stock in US market . So they should not charge for conversion 2USD?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi roysten, sorry for the late reply 1) You won't be charged, since you already have USD cash and trading in USD, so no need to for any conversion there! 2) Also not.

Hey brother, sweet video! I'm still a little confused on margin could you help me out? Here's an example, I have $5000 in a margin account and I buy $10,000 worth of Tesla. So that's 2:1 leverage, but I'm wondering if that is ok to do? Would I just have to make sure it doesn't drop below $5000?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Alex, correcto! Using margin essentially means you're borrowing from IBKR to buy more shares. With $5000, you can indeed buy $10,000 worth of Tesla with 2:1 leverage. However, if Tesla's value drops significantly, you'll face a margin call, requiring you to deposit more money to meet the minimum equity requirement.

[@sidkings]

Far far more useful than contacting IBKR. I've been using SAXO for years so I am used to my account being funded and being able to trade straight away. With IBKR I could'nt understand why I was'nt able to trade as soon as I had funded my account. Each time it would come up with a message saying I needed to get a margin account and or that I had unsettled cash. So basically once you've funded your account in USD or AUD, you have to wait 2 days before you can trade? What a pain.. SAXO is such a rip off, so I guess it's worth the wait.

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Foysha, cash settlement upon funding should be T+1 ya, thats pretty standard across many broker. Though not gonna lie there is a learning curve before you get used to IBKR's platform - a little bit complicated, but will be worth it for the long run due to its cost efficiency!

Hi Damien, unfortunately i dont use the TWS mode so i dont use hotkeys :x for the website platform, you can click your icon at the top right corner, it can choose Dark/Light theme - but then again, its not TWS software yeah. Let me know if this helps!

@@ZietInvests Thanks Ziet I will give it a go. Without being negative can you use IB with a different charting software? The IB web platform and charting are terrible lol.

Please tell me what details shall I put to activate options trading. Every time I request for permission it always denies me that I cannot meet their eligibility criteria for options trading. Please help

[@ZietInvests]

Hi there, dividends will be credited into your account cash balance on dividend payment date (there should be notification of it)
