Yeah, it's not the smoothest, I'll give you that, but it's improved markedly in the last 5 years compared to where it was before that. Yeah, definitely understand wanting a clean UI approach. You've got to choose the service that's right for you and your needs. If I could get an IBKR-Pro or E-Trade or Webull like terminal in Vanguard I'd ditch all other brokerage firms.
Confirmed, IBKR also showing 0 availability for short. Also cost to barrow increased to 31.01. Days to cover is 3.24 as of yesterday. Short interest indicator ( from Orbisa securities lending analytics) is 51.11 And I don't recall seeing such a high number before
There's plenty of sites like ft, Bloomberg, Brookings that are saying that the supply chains are crashing through in China. Everytime a comment like this pops up it makes me laugh because any glance on a Bloomberg/IBKR/TOS/Schwab terminal and you'll see all the reports of Chinese factories shuttering or American demand cratering. Saying dumb shit without any substantiation is what this sub has devolved to.
Oh my bad didn’t know that. Why do they auto sell at 3:30? That’s retarded asf. I use IBKR and I can buy or sell SPY options till 4:15 lol
I looked at IBKR site. I think they're much better in a lot of way. How is their customer service ? Like I may have a learning curve in getting used to their platform.
Makes no sense to me either when you can trade on Vanguard or IBKR-Pro and have direct access to market prices and not have to trust Robinhood or another PFOF company where you don't know if you're getting a fair price or not
Hood puts. IBKR shat the bed on their earnings. Expect similar trends for Robinhood aka lower margin loans
Unless you have $1 million plus you should not be hedging currency exposure. And even then it doesn't make sense. EURUSD was 1.09 election night and now after what most people in this sub believe is an unprecedented collapse of the dollar, its now at...1.134... Not even 4%. But if you like wasting your money in transaction fees you can use IBKR. A lot of retail traders use Oanda as well.
I was using GBM, but after that incident I use IBKR
I've learned that when you are down over 1 million in a day, IBKR will report it as -1,000K instead of -1M. This science experiment was worth it. https://preview.redd.it/3qebyem23zxe1.png?width=339&format=png&auto=webp&s=9181e23733e1652b4a418272924a1f8ed5f2527d
Happy to share! How do you trade strangles more aggressively? Yes ES is definitely liquid, however CL, NG, GC and some of the grains are also extremely liquid from my experience and I have never had an issue! Personally I find it not too effective to roll the untested side because if I get to that point, it means the commodity become extremely directional because the supply and demand balance changed drastically, by which point I would have already closed my trade anyway! I use IBKR, they are the only ones that allow stop losses for futures options!
IBKR is sending me options expiration notifications on my paper trade account 
damn ... my bank or my 'specific broker" give me acess to other marker : France, Germany, Netherland, UK, US, Canada (and my broker give me access to China, Nordic european countries, italia, spain...) You don't have access to IBKR ? i'm on Saxo Bank.
I checked the IBKR app again and now the p&l changed back to +$93, but break even point is still 118.83. Weird…
They don’t even know what IBKR is
To all my retards: You can trade SPX overnight on IBKR -Satan
It ain’t difficult to buy international stocks on IBKR
It’s not hopeless at all. There are a few brokers that let non-U.S. residents (including people in Turkey) trade U.S. stocks and options. **Interactive Brokers (IBKR)** is probably your best option — they accept clients from Turkey, and you can trade U.S. markets directly through them. Also, if you want to **use ThinkOrSwim for charting, analysis, and planning** (even if you’re not trading through Schwab), that’s totally possible. A lot of people use TOS for analysis and another broker like IBKR for execution. I posted a reply with full instructions on how to set it up here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkorswim\_scripts/comments/1jqts76/comment/mlw1dg4/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkorswim_scripts/comments/1jqts76/comment/mlw1dg4/?context=3) Hope it helps — and good luck getting started!
Yeah, I use IBKR too and you can't trust that number. Just over 5% is correct.
IG have zero fees as long as you make at least 1 trade a month. I think they operate in most European countries. It’s a similar platform to IBKR, though a bit less complex
The "also" in this case is a comparison to brokers like IBKR that make their fee structure clear. My point is that when you are charged "no fees" to trade at disadvantageous spreads, you are *also* losing returns to this. Nobody is letting you trade for free.
In the US, IBKR has a free version and a pretty cheap version too, so even IBKR offers free trading for most transactions
You need to look for government incentives for investing, and hunt for low-cost brokers. But yeah, some fees are unavoidable - IBKR is providing a service which you must pay for.
I personally have IBKR; but there are reasons why some don't have it 😅
And you chose the option that wasn't IBKR?
IBKR do allow Pakistani residents to open accounts, apparently. [https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/open-account-country-list.php](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/open-account-country-list.php)
IBKR did the same thing. They also told me I was too poor to trade options. Crazy work.
I picked up 1300 shares this morning on IBKR.
IBKR called me a poor bitch and autoclosed my 549c right before it went above 549 
Two things. 1. I reread this specifically to see where you said you were moving out of Europe. You did not. 2. The reason why you needed to use the term "intercontinental" here is because the EU is made of small nations. Moving internationally can mean moving from France to Belgium if you want it to. The point here is that the *best word* not the "technically correct" word for your situation is intercontinental. I mean yes, intercity works if I say I am moving from Frankfurt, Germany to Beijing, China, it's true, it's also a silly way to describe it and definitely not the best description. Technically true =/= Best choice. IBKR might be your best commercial bet.
You just got played by your platform, regardless it is IBKR or Tiger or Charles Schwab. Mind sharing which platform you trading with?
Exactly and well said! It also depends on who is holding puts, if it is the retail investors, then market will pump, because institutional investors such as IBKR trade counter to retail investors.
Exactly, just today there is a huge market price movement for **DPZ - Dominos.** Pre market opens exceptionally low -4% and now, institutional investors and suddenly took interest in the shares to **buy up this share.** Currently it is up by 0.7%. DPZ made one of the greatest recovery today. Contrary, **RVTY - Revvity** has experienced a sudden dip from 5% to a mere 1% in price when markets open today. Some sources have pointed to platforms (tiger and IBKR) are shorting these shares aggressively to gain profit from retail investors.
Two weeks straight of my port slowly adding positive days feels great. Gonna be a little bit of a bummer to cash out some of my TLT to fund my way out puts but I gotta get that done before the market catches up with the recession reality downtown coming. Off to watch an IBKR tutorial or two. Fuk bols
No problem. By the way, the list itself came from one of the IBKR Tax Optimizer strategies: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/glossary-terms/maximize-st-loss/ If you use them, you can configure it to choose the tax lots for you automatically like this (or other strategies) by default.
I have created small baskets of stocks using COMBINATIONS at IBKR. I don't know the limit but I used it with as many as 6 equities. They can be all long/short or a combination of both. I have used the latter for pairs trading. I am not familiar with it but they also offer basket stock orders for multiple instruments in the TWS BasketTrader. You can read (watch) about it here: [https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/trading-lessons/tws-baskettrader-create-a-basket/](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/trading-lessons/tws-baskettrader-create-a-basket/) If interested, try the demo.
As a Canadian it is difficult to invest in European stocks without using an American broker like IBKR. There are some new Canadian Depository Receipts and a few ETFs.
Paper trading through brokers like IBKR isn't what I'm looking for — I need the ability to simulate historical option price movements and actually trade based on them. I found thinkorswim \`thinkBack\`, seems it's right direction
Do anybody know what level permission you need on IBKR to trade these SPX options? (I ask here because it'll be several days before I hear from customer service.)
The best on in Canada is tradezero. I have both IBKR and Tradezero and chose tradezero and never looked back. They've an referral thing where if I refer you we both get $100.
Oh, I'm guessing the 3 mutual fund are the 2 index funds and 1 commodity fund, cause I don't see any commodity investments in the last update unless you're holding physical investments. I'm assuming the institutional funds 'need' an advisor because you don't have enough funds (relatively speaking) so you do it through a platform that has agreements with the funds (usually through PWM) and they likely require you to be accredited. I guess you could do the same through a FoF but unlikely as those have extremely high fees and exist to scam boomers. I don't think IBKR would let you use this as collateral for leverage, unless your portfolio leverage is higher, and just a piece cashed out and invested in the alternatives. Based on all the prior descriptions, I imagine it's something related to structured products, either just 'traditional' structured products like CLOs/CDOs or something a bit more unconventional like securitization of planes, or car loans or legal finance. Besides that, only newer thing that I'm aware of is investing in a vehicle that has different tranches invested in different platforms (piece in bank debt, piece in multi-strat, piece in real estate, piece in ABS, etc.) I work at a fund that offers all this. Good reads. Not sure why people are freaking out over 2X leverage though. Forgot which paper touched upon leverage back to the late 1800s or something that showed that 2X in that entire time was never liquidated a single time. Any opinions on Big Ern's strategy? His derivatives overlay strategy with daily short puts way OTM seems to have an extremely impressive track record, sharpe and correlations and he has his performance shown back to the start of 2018 with plenty of backtesting. The profits are on 1256 contracts so it isn't too tax inefficient, especially in a retirement portfolio for cash flow and outperforming income.
IBKR has better rates, and you can do box spreads which give you the best market rate. But you are right, the transfer bonuses are worth it.
Just a heads up because a lot of people don’t know this. On IBKR you can trade SPX options 23 hours a day.
At scale Robinhood is actually more expensive than fee brokers like IBKR with weaker bid fills and slower execution times. It doesn’t matter when the trade is a few thousand bucks, but when it’s a few million it adds up quick.
I use IBKR, but have tried Saxobank (higher fees) and Robinhood. Though I am not sure if they allow SPY.
IBKR doesn't charge that much. I'm pretty sure you are only looking at the order preview which sometimes get clunky. Anyway, you should use tiered instead of fixed pricing. [IBKR Commissions](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/pricing/commissions-stocks.php)
Are you using Tired pricing in IBKR? It is better than Fixed. Also - you can turn on autoinvesting. And really do it 1ce per month.
IBKR has a paper trading account
I use IBKR too. You need to look for UCITS ETFs - these are EU-regulated funds that US investors can access. Try VEUR (Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe) or MEUD (iShares Core MSCI Europe).
IBKR is a reputable broker, I am sure that it will arrive within the day
Any Airbus shareholder here? Have you received the dividend yet? Payment date was yesterday and I can't remember it taking more than 1 business day to be credited on my IBKR account. I need ze money for a baguette.
I like IBKR as a broker, but that depends on your needs. IBKR is kinda of more advanced. As ETF screener I recommend justetf or etfdb.
People said the same about IBKR lol.
IBKR is what I use. Love them
You can sell puts with collateral as low double digits, but of course more capital expands your positioning opportunity both in strategy and in stocks you target. Look up the "naked put income strategy" if you're interested. Whether or not you need to have cash depends on your margin availability and brokerage. For me (Webull Margin) I can open these positions on margin, but it does "lock down" buying power for the duration of the position equal to strike price minus premium credit recieved (ex 1.50 for my $2p WOLF position in june) I know some other brokers have much better systems for option position management (IBKR, for example) but Webull does the job for single naked puts, which is my preferred angle.
Does IBKR have an equivalent of a SBLOC?
Long-Term Investment Advice I’m looking to build a long-term (15–20-year) investment portfolio. Although I already hold small positions in stocks and cryptocurrency, I’d like to focus primarily on ETFs—incorporating stocks, bonds, and commodities. I am looking for highly diversified portfolio with aggresive investment approach. Since I’m not well educated on this matter, I’ve used AI tools to shortlist a few candidates, but I’d welcome additional insight or suggestions. I’m based in Europe and trade through IBKR. Here’s the allocation I’m considering: * **iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD (CSPX.L)** – 40% * **Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF Distributing (VEUR)** – 16% * **Xtrackers MSCI AC Asia ex Japan ESG Swap UCITS ETF 1C (XAXJ.L)** – 16% * **Amundi Pan Africa UCITS ETF Acc (LGQM.L)** – 8% * **Amundi Euro Government Inflation-Linked Bond UCITS ETF (EMI.L)** – 10% * **Amundi Physical Gold ETC (GLDA.L)** – 10%
What broker offer trading in AH? IBKR?
Was about to mention this, unusual market reaction highly likely that **institutional traders and platforms IBKR is likely to be shorting SKX**, potentially suppressing its price despite superbly strong financial performance. **Sketchers SKX** earnings expectation has surpass analyst expectations by miles and share price is at all time lows.
ya, PEP seems overcorrected, so platforms are still shorting the stocks. **platforms like IBKR are actively influencing and manipulating stock prices**, especially in after-hours trading, they use the retail investors share held by them to short and countertrade, and some does not even know that they could opt out of that!
You have made no argument as to why they actually deserve it. Having no sympathy is not the same as saying they deserve it. If a bank executes an action that you did not authorize, and the bank did not do enough to verify it was or was not you who initiated the action, that is partially on the bank. If you end up having to pay higher prices because you chose to use a bank that does not have adequate protections set up, then that is on you, and your ignorance is no excuse. If IBKR or your bank is secure enough, then it doesn't affect you so stop pretending to care when the reality if you are just frustrated at something else.
You can do it rn on IBKR you dumb
Hurry up, time. I want to buy some SPX 1dte options at 8 A.M.!! (Yes, you can do this on IBKR and Fidelity, btw).
Exactly what I did, I put calls on nvda then puts. SPY didn’t go through since IBKR didn’t allow me but its fine
This shit is so tarded that I cannot even make sense of my IBKR P/L. Some after hours shit counts some don’t, I’m red im green who even knows
The fact that people in this sub don't know how IBKR looks like says everything about this sub.
IBKR TWS (trader workstation)
just get IBKR and leave all this fuckery behind
They do sell stocks in reality only in the case kf big losses. And where did you get this 12%, because I only see something like that for HUF currency at IBKR's website.
I put a limit order to sell my call at the mid-point, and it got filled instantly. What does this mean ? Are there shadow Bid and Ask ? This was on a low-liquidity option and I saw on Yahoo the Last price change to the price I had sold, so it's not just the broker (IBKR) doing stuff locally.
How's the onramping to IBKR with EUR? Like banktransfer via ING? If you deposit or withdraw, is it usually there within 1 working day?
You know on IBKR your margin requirements get lowered when you hedge using options? Can free up quite a decent amount of excess liquidity and buying power.
IBKR does that, i was wondering too
I've got this up on Level2 today - looks really strong. Fidelity is showing 0 shares available, IBKR is showing \~53,000. My guess is range bound between \~$2.65-\~$2.80 for a chunk of the morning and then a breakout at some point. The IV for options is holding steading, if not creeping up just a bit. I grabbed 1000 shares this morning, 100 3C May OPEX and threw $200 bucks at some Friday 3C lotto tickets. I'll post some updates here if things start getting interesting.
No, I use IBKR too, the commission is low, bought 5 Googl calls last week and cost me 2.29, and this is depending on trading volume of the contract, so it’s totally reasonable it cost only \~$8 for OP around 50 contracts for high liquidity option like AMZN https://preview.redd.it/fhakf6bkhlwe1.jpeg?width=836&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f94519afdb23540cc8ad19a4d57a44da8ca9381f
You haven't made this one easy, have you? :) So my first thought is always IBKR. There's a slight issue here which is that IBKR famously don't get on with Revolut transfers. You can onramp with both, but I'm not sure "quick and seamless" applies for Rev/IB. That being said, if you can navigate that bit, there are European introducing brokers for IBKR which I've really rated of late. In no small part, they actually seem to be cheaper in many ways than IB themselves. Being NL, you might find Lynx works for you. Minimum $5 fees, I believe, which might not meet your low fees expectations (I did say you'd made this difficult :)) In France, for IB introducers we have Zonebourse, ProRealTime, and Mexem. I chose the last one for tax assistance, but it's minimum fees of $1 which is more suitable for me. I've seen too many complaints about Trade Republic to consider them for now. My understanding is their exchange is a little bit murky too? Not used Saxo, but it's popular here, as are Bourse Direct and Boursorama. TLDR, my tried and tested was IBKR to onramp USD from Revolut (but wasn't always fun), and I found linking my account to Mexem was cheaper than IBKR (and a few others, for the amounts I can afford to place, but might not be the case for your budget).
Big boy brokers like IBKR that offer Overnight trading? Dude please.
The price movements are attributed towards, many people knowing TSLA shit but i**nstitutional investors and platforms like IBKR does counter-trading against the retail investors**. **When you sign up to trade on platforms like IBKR you have the option to opt out of allow your shares to be used to counter trade against your own position!!!** Many people just didn't read this and agree to their optional terms so they make use of this opportunity to countertrade against the majority to gain profits. Beware the shorters and countertrades, they are rife. If you time it right and snipe the shorter, they might just feel the burn! **There is currently a huge shorting in TMO by IBKR!**
Worse than a shit coin. It is unpredictable, just like its driverless function lacking crucial RADAR and its absolutely hideous cybertruck! The price movements are attributed towards, many people knowing its shit but i**nstitutional investors and platforms like IBKR does counter-trading against the retail investors**. When you sign up to trade on platforms like IBKR you have the option to opt out of allow your shares to be used to counter trade against your own position. Many people just didn't read this and agree to their optional terms so they make use of this opportunity to countertrade against the majority to gain profits. Beware the shorters and countertrades, they are rife. These shares are highly likely to experience a dip when the markets open today: **TMO (Thermo Fisher)** – Facing strong downward pressure from short sellers, driving its price lower. **ISRG (Intuitive Surgical)** – Experiences significant after-hours declines due to platform traders, psst IBKR engaging in active counter-trading. Anyways these shares have outperform analyst expectation and are way better than the shit coin!
I don't seem able to trade options on IBKR after hours.
Why is IBKR’s commission so horrible that’s more than $1/contract
Good point although BR really doesn't sound like they are about to do margin trading. Nothing wrong with IBKR though....
IBKR. Lowest margin rate. Nothing else really matters enough to pay 50+% more for my margin line.
Depends on the broker, whether you're short, how big your account is, etc. With IBKR free it's roughly 0.57% for basic margin with under $100k. They have very good rates.
Tesla (TSLA). Its recent earnings were weak—EPS and revenue both missed expectations—but somehow, the stock rose. Why? Because platforms allow traders to short Tesla on margin, meaning instead of buying shares outright, they use short-sellers' money to manipulate price movements. Meanwhile, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) had a fantastic quarter, beating both EPS and revenue estimates, yet its stock fell sharply after hours. The reason? Platforms like IBKR aren’t holding these shares for retail investors—they’re short-selling them for profit, pushing the price down artificially. Given ISRG’s strong fundamentals, this looks like a great buying opportunity, especially for long-term investors. Should you compare these two stocks, it seems like TSLA stocks are just overtly inflated, I would rather put my money in ISRG than TSLA, but then again who knows, Elong Must tweets something and investor simps goes crazy. Retail investors should always be aware of the hidden tactics that shape stock movements—because sometimes, it’s not the market that’s moving the stocks, but the platforms controlling the game.
I doubt that! Platforms like **IBKR** are **actively manipulating prices**, especially in **after-hours trading**, where moves often set the tone for the next day. This isn’t just natural market behavior—it’s deliberate interference designed to shift momentum before regular trading begins. **Tesla (TSLA):** Despite **missing on earnings and revenue**, its stock **jumped** instead of falling. This suggests that **investor confidence remains strong**, and platforms **failed to push the price down** through short-selling. TSLA’s resilience makes it **a buy for those who trust its long-term potential**. **Intuitive Surgical (ISRG):** Strong earnings should have sent **ISRG higher**, yet the stock **dipped** spectacularly. **Platforms (IBKR) were likely short-selling aggressively**, manipulating prices downward rather than letting organic market forces play out. This **artificial suppression** makes ISRG **a strong buy right now** as fundamentals remain very solid despite external interference. Guess you have to **stay sharp**—after-hours trading is a **precursor for the next day’s market movements roughly 70% of the time**, often driven by manipulation rather than true price discovery. Platforms such as IBKR hold **bigger capital than you for manipulating these markets**, making it hard to counter their influence, but understanding their tactics is key to making smarter investment choices.
Some stocks are greatly distorted by platforms and instutional investors. Companies beating earnings drop, while those missing expectations hold strong. **Tesla (TSLA):** Despite **EPS and revenue misses**, its stock remains stable. This suggests platforms haven't pushed the price down via short-selling. **Investor demand is strong**, making TSLA **a buy**. **Intuitive Surgical (ISRG):** Earnings **exceeded expectations**, but the stock dropped sharply (after-hours). **Platforms are short-selling** instead of holding shares for retail investors. **Market manipulation** has created a **buying opportunity** for long-term investors. Retail investors should **stay alert**: 1. **Revoke short-selling consent**—Platforms may use your shares to **short against you**. 2. **Buy suppressed stocks**—Undervalued stocks like ISRG could bounce back. 3. **Watch price resilience**—TSLA holding steady despite weak earnings **signals strength**. **Platforms like IBKR hold bigger capital than you for manipulating these markets,** they are countertrading on your behalf.
If you've been watching the market lately, you’ve probably noticed something odd: companies smashing earnings expectations are seeing their stock prices **drop**, while those missing expectations—like Tesla—are actually **rising**. So, what’s going on? Some retail investors may think this is just regular market sentiment, but there’s more beneath the surface. Platforms like **IBKR** are engaging in countertrading against retail investors, using short-selling strategies that favor them—not you. If you own stocks on a margin account, your shares could **be used for shorting without transparent disclosure**—meaning these platforms aren’t always acting in your best interest. Look at **Tesla (TSLA)**. Its recent earnings were weak—EPS and revenue both **missed expectations**—but somehow, the stock rose. Why? Because platforms allow traders to **short Tesla on margin**, meaning instead of buying shares outright, they use short-sellers' money to manipulate price movements. Tesla’s valuation now appears **inflated**, making it a **sell** for cautious investors. Meanwhile, **Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)** had a fantastic quarter, beating both **EPS and revenue estimates**, yet its stock **fell sharply after hours**. The reason? **Platforms like IBKR aren’t holding these shares for retail investors—they’re short-selling them for profit,** pushing the price down artificially. Given ISRG’s strong fundamentals, this looks like **a great buying opportunity**, especially for long-term investors.
Where can I see that? IBKR doesn't show AH volumes
