If I'm in another country on a student visa, or other more temporary visa, will I be able to use the IB margin account? If I prove I am living there?
I'm going to be over in Europe for a year to maybe a few years, but am not an EU citizen or anything, and am hoping I can get access to IBs cheaper margin interest rates.
Why don't you call IB?
Personally I would think that as your an Aussi Citizen you would be subject to IB's policy
With regard to AUST.
5. tried TWS and Webtrader of courseHaving problems with IB challenge key - have to get a new one often - fails to login frequently
1. Trying different browsers, networks, pc's and iphone all same problem
2. cleared cache etc - ctl-shift-delete
3. cannot get chat or message help today - down for maintenance - will be back soon [elastic word]
4. phoned last night finally got good guy in switzerland downloaded again and got a/c management through Safari, worked once and never since.
Anyone else same problems?
No problems with PTY LTD Company [except multiple hoops to jump through when opening] - been with them for yearsThanks for the responses - Ill call them and confirm, and report back. Was just looking to see if anyone had had similar situations, and ways to get around it.
If it doesnt work, I guess ill check out the public company route, if it's something I decide I really want access to.
Hello guys. I have a number of questions that I could not fond answers to on IB's website. I'm hoping existing users can help me.
1. Is you cash deposit guaranteed up to the 250k?
2. What interest are you getting paid on your cash?
3. What ongoing account management fees are you paying?
4. I trade pretty frequently and need live data. Is there a fee for that?
5. I use lots of limit orders. Can you do the following for example:
* Say you want to buy CBA and it closed at $82 today. Tomorrow I want to place a limit order for say $80 but only transmit the order if it trades at $81.
* The very important thing for me is that placing this conditional limit order doesn't tie up capital.
* So, can I place say $1,000,000 in conditional limit orders (none are actually in the market unless the price hits my trigger price) with say a $200,000 account?
* I do not want to use margin.
6. I want to operate my own individual account and control a second individual account for my partner. Is this possible? Is it just a matter of switching using a single mouse click inside TWS? Or will I be required to log out and back in?
Thanks
I have cash and Shares in one of my IB accounts. Obviously as this was controlled by the broker BBY in liquidation I am not allowed to touch even though everything is sitting there which IB agree.
My question is dividends are still being paid into this account and I assume the liquidator gets them - anyone like to comment please?
G'day Freebird,
I'm not a BBY client but was (still am) involved in the MF Global administration (as a client) so have a great deal of empathy with your situation.
I had a quick look at the KPMG BBY administration site and it looks like there was a court hearing in late Jan-early Feb looking into how client monies will be distributed. It doesn't look like there's been a judgement handed down yet. I'd guess that the issue of dividends during the administration period will be part of those judgements when they're handed down.
All the best.
