I am not sure you are able to directly buy the US-domiciled funds and not the European equivalents (at least not through the IBKR)
I use IBKR and recently discovered that I can add a column "Mode" to display the Black Scholes Model price. It let's me see if the current Mid Price is being manipulated and what I should be willing to pay. This has been a big help to keep me from getting taken advantage of.
I'm from western europe (not uk/ie) and I would like to stop holding an emergency fund and instead have a broker where I can lend cash in case of need. The idea would be to use margin, not to buy any extra assets, but to avoid having to sell assets. I am thinking of capping my LTV at 7%, ie having 14x more assets (all world etf, similar to vwce) than I would have in my current emergency fund. I would rarely use this cash fund for more than 500€ unless something big happens. I'm looking at both degiro and ibkr, either to withdraw cash (I've only seen french people do it on degiro with Active or Trader, but I'm not from france) or to build short box spreads, and try to withdraw the proceeds, as a loan (in euros) that is close to the risk free rate, which is cheaper than the margin interest rates. However, I am doubting this is possible with IBKR, because I think if I build short bxo spreads, I'll have cash in my account but I won't be able to send it to my european bank to use as spending. For degiro the cash pre allocation sounds fine, ready at a month's notice but the interest rate is just a bit higher, big advantage being how flexible that would be, definitely compared to box spreads, which look quite messy and time consuming. My main question is, I have long accepted margin call risk, in this position where I transfer my ETFs to a broker, trusting the strategy and transfering all my emergency fund into stocks makes sense right? Does anyone have any information about european brokers that allow secutiry backed personal loans for personal spending is welcome, especially at IBKR who look very competitive all-round?
You can wire to IBKR. It takes 5-20 minutes from BoA; same is true for withdrawals. I pulled $20k at 12:30Pm on Friday had it by 12:47pmish
Hello, I own the German listing of SMIC (not SMCI). The DOJ alleged that their chips where used by the military. One day suddenly all trades are halted.

Oh shit I just realized I can trade on Monday on my IBKR account lol
Your logic is directionally correct, especially for low-liquidity biotech options where spreads can go completely insane around catalysts. Seeing the actual size sitting at bid/ask absolutely helps because the displayed spread alone can be misleading if there are only 1-2 contracts there. That said, one thing to keep in mind: after a major catalyst, the order book can change faster than Level 2 updates are actually useful for manual execution. Especially if volatility explodes and market makers start repricing aggressively. Sometimes the “best bid” disappears the second you hit sell. For IBKR specifically, the Web platform’s options depth is honestly way less detailed/nicer than TWS. Most serious options traders end up using TWS for exactly this reason. In Web, you’ll usually see aggregated bid/ask ladders with quantities, but not the same flexibility/DOM-style feel as TWS. Also check whether your contracts are actually routing primarily through AMEX or just listed there symbolically, because liquidity may still be fragmented across multiple exchanges despite the AMEX label. I went through a similar rabbit hole comparing liquidity behavior on low-volume contracts and ended up organizing screenshots/notes in Notion while running a few execution scenario summaries through Runable to compare slippage outcomes around biotech catalysts. The difference between theoretical fills and actual executable liquidity gets very real very fast.
yeh, I think I'm going to take assignment of the shares in batches using the "Make Final" option in IBKR and sell the stock instead, not perfect but I guess better than trying to go blinded with options on thin liquidity
Honestly your thinking is directionally correct, but there’s one important nuance: options liquidity is fragmented across multiple exchanges, so even if IBKR shows “AMEX” for the contract, the actual best executable liquidity after a catalyst may still be distributed across OPRA feeds rather than sitting only on NYSE American depth specifically.
Options are a bit different than stocks here. There are 18 different options exchanges. You are able to see what is the best bid and offer and size of each exchange, but generally can't see the depth of orders on an individual exchange. (Some exchanges do offer depth data on their exchange for an enormous price, not really meant for retail) Even though your options may have traded on the Amex, they are likely traded on all the exchanges. Unfortunately, I don't know the data package you need for this on IBKR, you may have it already.
weekend gap risk on SPX options is brutal. i've moved most of my hedging to markets xyz because it trades 24/7 so i can actually close positions before Monday's open. IBKR weekend hours cover some instruments too but not everything.

I've got that stuff set up at IBKR. It wasn't too hard.
depending on broker you can sell these monday night at 8 or 8:15 pm. RH just implemented it. IBKR has had it for a while.
For sure…I only have a small account with IBKR where I play the Asian markets. Do you like any of the Taiwan listed PCBs? If so, which ones do you like the most. Blackwell/Rubin demand isn’t going down. It’s sold out and orders are in
True, schwab is totally ok, but IBKR already limited new account creation for Chinese live in mainland last year, it will ask for a bank statement or utility bill with address outside mainland China. I guess this is because IBKR still has some business in mainland or hong kong?
Take a look at FUTU and TIGR in premarket. The political risk is crazy. I guess it’s also the reason why IBKR and SCHW rises in premarket.
Me too. That said IBKR will absolutely wait until last second if there are things that might benefit the user.
You dont "lock it" either way with any serious broker. You get at least a little below risk free rate with IBKR for example, or you can buy t bills or whatever for additional yield, and liquidate those as you get assigned and need cash.
IBKR is one of the worst brokerages around.
Which one? The IBKR I've used looks like it was designed by a crackhead.
Seriously IBKR fix your notifications. Yesterday I almost got an heart attack buying 10 SPY 0DTE puts contracts and I’ve received a notification from the previous contract closing saying “Sold 10 SPY puts” …
IBKR showing different. Yahoo confirms your number but it closed 1.6% down yesterday and now it’s up 0.65% lol that’s just premarket noise
Greeks freshness isn't a polling problem. You compute them locally from the underlying tick and your own IV surface (or BSM with broker IV as a starting point). Broker REST is for orders and positions, not hot-path math. Multi-leg depends on broker. IBKR supports combo orders so the spread fills as one ticket. Most retail APIs make you leg in, which is where you bleed.
IBKR has recently opened access to the Korean markets. I currently hold a $70k position in SK Hynix
You can buy through IBKR if you use them
Borrowing to trade in a bull market is a classic way to blow up, and I’ve definitely learned that lesson the hard way. If you’re really tempted, try a demo account on BYDFi or paper trade on IBKR first to see if you can actually handle the volatility. I’d honestly just stick to the monthly £500 and keep your sanity.
I’ve done intraday 7 figure trades not out of the ordinary, paid over six figures in commissions at IBKR, and never even come close to >390 orders in a day.
If your account at Schwab is pro and you open another brokerage account, it does not automatically get marked as Pro. I’ve open a new IBKR and E*trade after, with no issues. Someone else asked this and supposedly CBOE will mark all accounts but I don’t think that’s accurate and it has not been my experience. Schwab does allow Pro trading, no? Don’t think like Robinhood, WeBull etc will allow. I at least got some warning emails that I was approaching the threshold but when I got another one said 100%, nothing happened.
The strategy is take it off the following morning for small profits. And SPX trades at 815pm-925am on Robinhood and IBKR so you can close if there is a major event.
Since you are dealing with multiple currencies like USD and EUR, fee structures and FX rates are going to be your biggest bottleneck. I was researching these exact options last week and found a really detailed breakdown on RevenueLand that compares the hidden costs and multi-currency support for European investors. It helped me understand the differences between IBKR and DEGIRO much better
I've been running credit spreads on python + IBKR's API for 4 months and it's been working well, but you have to keep it tight with the agent(s), I would not recommend just connecting claude to a websocket and saying "trade credit spreads to make as much money as possible" or whatever. I can pretty much guarantee it will shit the bed, based on some of the ideas it came up with for me while building my bots. I can't add a screenshot of my dashboard here but trailing 30 P&L is +$45k (but heavy on PCS right now and stopping out, down $10k+ today lol). 1. websocket or REST polling specific strikes/expirations every X minutes is the answer here. also don't chase a ton of underlyings, get yourself 70-80% of the way there then worry about maxing the universe of underlyings later 2. see above 3. yeah have to build this logic on your side as far as I can tell, but then you're brokerage agnostic (yay) 4. doable with IBKR. I have some manual legging fallbacks for various scenarios and it works ok, again tightly controlled, but I wouldn't risk that being my primary execution
If I used margin, I no longer qualify for options per IBKR
Didn’t know IBKR did settled cash after +3 days. That’s lame af.
So you're telling me insiders make money by buying their own stock when they know it's gonna go up in the future ? Big if true ! Shitposting aside, IBKR relay data (notably from the washington service) from Form 4 on insiders buying/selling regurlarly when you tcheck news on a ticker, and allow you to acces the trade log (albeit with a bit of delay) of insiders/institutions/entities.
Which stock? I mostly trade SPX because it is an index so you get numerous benefits: cash-settlement (so no early close on expiration day, you can trade until the last second before expiration. You get paid the difference of your ITM strike and the closing price on SPX), lots of liquidity, and 60/40 tax benefit. More brokers are finally adding overnight trading index options too, it used to just be IBKR.
IBKR does a shit job of sending timely alert emails. Honestly if they were smart theyd set up SMS alerts.
Then open a IBKR account? Your time worth that much you cant open a free account? Korea stocks have been going crazy it's actually insane you donr want to tap into all of it
3 gate robo bitch pls (you can with IBKR)
It's kind of hard to find 8 stocks you have full confidence in. Furthermore to beat the S&P500 you need growth stories, which are not really long-term buys. But I'll try based on fundamentals: - AMZN (20%) - AMD (15%) - ASTS (15%) - IBKR (15%) - CAT (15%) - LLY (10%) - KTOS (5%) - QS (5%) You've got AI, retail, semis, telecommunications, space, fintech, industrials, pharma/health, drones, and energy in this. Disclaimer: this is not financial advice, and I'm in ASTS and QS at the moment.
Lol transferred everything from BMO to IBKR two weeks ago.
Here’s what you need to do to get options trading enabled on IBKR (Interactive Brokers): 1. Complete the Options Trading Application In Client Portal, go to Settings → Account Settings → Trading Experience & Permissions and click to add options trading. You’ll answer questions about your experience, knowledge, and financial situation. 2. IBKR’s Permission Levels They use a tiered system: • Level 1 – Covered calls, cash-secured puts • Level 2 – Long calls and puts (most common starting point) • Level 3 – Spreads (defined risk, requires more experience) • Level 4 – Naked/uncovered writing (highest risk, hardest to get) 3. What they look for • Trading experience (years, frequency) • Options-specific knowledge • Net worth and liquid assets • Income • Investment objectives Tips to get approved at a higher level: • Be honest but thorough — don’t undersell your experience • If you’ve been trading stocks/ETFs for a while, say so • Liquid net worth matters; they want to see you can absorb losses • If denied or given a lower level than you want, you can call IBKR directly and request a manual review — this often works 4. After approval You may still need to enable specific products (like index options, or options on a particular exchange) separately under the same permissions menu. What level are you going for — just buying calls/puts, or spreads too?
NOW is up 7%, it’s beautiful but why?? Anyways, IBKR doesn’t let me trade options, how do I get around it? I would had brought calls for NOW last week if they allowed me to…
happy to discuss. valid on data from 4/30. there is no real way of telling is short have covered. but borrowing rate increase and share available to share has gotten less and less per IBKR data. its a a guess but still indicate shorts may not all have gotten out. if you follow my table you can only find 2.3m that are free float.
An Asset backed line of credit through IBKR has rates just over 5% for the first $100k you use on margin. If you only borrowed $30k, you’d be unlikely to get margin called with a diversified portfolio, however, it sounds like you are highly concentrated in tech, which could have serious drawdowns. Take a look at that, as this may be an option to get some cash without causing a taxable action.
It would start a multi step process including a check for FaceID because IBKR isn’t a joke brokerage like RH. 😆
I believe Options Funding uses IBKR for their live accounts.
Hi, thanks a lot! Is it possible to use IBKR with any one of them?
Yes, 150 per day was normal. I never went over 390 orders. I traded contracts over $1k each that had a spread that could fit the profits inside. My market orders are horrible, half the time won’t fill until they can get a favorable tick or two on their side. I don’t want to list all of my brokers but the problem carried over to more than one. IBKR is not the one this happened at, I can still trade there but the fills are not good at all. They will not fill a spread for me unless it’s at the bid for one leg and the ask for the other leg. I don’t anticipate on having good fills on my option traders ever again. I actually have to make my gains and fight against the fills at the same time.
Imagine shorting a stock backed by Elon Musk with a 36% SI and zero shares available on IBKR. 💀 $SATS is a coiled spring ready to snap past 140 on Monday morning. IV is sitting at a ridiculously cheap 67-68%, meaning we are buying pure leverage on a discount! 🎰 clip the bears, hold the line, and enjoy the ride! Stop sleeping on $SATS! This is the ultimate backdoor ticket to SpaceX stock before the actual IPO. Elon is printing a global monopoly on Direct-to-Cell tech using this spectrum, and Wall Street nerds are trying to short it? 🤣 Market makers are completely naked here with under 50k shares left to borrow. The Gamma Squeeze next week is going to be financial violence
150 round trips? That's what I am doing on average. Only I am making $7/per round trip, not 40. What were you trading to get 40 per trade? What happened after they limited you to market only orders? Was it IBKR? Did changing brokers help?
You don’t have to use IBKR, it’s a compliance violation by the exchange(s). You’re not registered to be a market maker, and if your account is flagged and found to be in violation, you will find out. Do you think your broker will allow you to continue violating exchange rules after they find out from the exchange investigating your trading behavior? It’s not a matter of why do they allow you, if it’s not allowed. It’s a matter of abusing the system to play market maker, as orders are sent and filled by other traders. If there’s not a spread in the bid/ask, the market makers wouldn’t make a profit from your trades. By continuing to trade like this, you risk your trading privileges. What your broker will do depends on what they want to do, maybe they will only allow you to trade with market orders moving forward and give you a warning, or maybe they will just terminate business with you.
question asked: " how can i buy a putcall on IBKR??"
The Customer Priority rule mentioned upthread is specifically an exchange level rule at ISE, CBOE, BOX and MIAX. It gives Priority Customer orders price and time priority at a given price level over Professional, Market Maker and Broker Dealer orders. It does not force any MM to take losing fills. The rule exists because exchanges want to subsidize retail flow to keep their PFOF and rebate ecosystems healthy. On the single lot priority observation, that is not a rule, it is auto quoter behavior. MM auto quoters typically do not pull or reprice on 1 lot prints because a single contract is unlikely to signal informed flow. A 5 lot print at the bid will trigger most auto quote logic to refresh, which is why your 5 lot order sits longer than your 1 lot. The threshold varies by underlying but for SPY and QQQ it usually sits around 3 to 5 contracts. If you actually want PC priority routing, you have to flag the order as Customer at a venue that respects it. Some retail brokers do this by default through SMART or IBKR routing, others route to PFOF wholesalers (Citadel, Virtu, Susquehanna) which gives you NBBO obligation but not actual exchange priority. The wholesaler will typically internalize and skip the exchange entirely if the order qualifies. Routing DMA to CBOE C2 with the Customer flag is the manual way to test whether your fills change at scale.
Not even close. I have fidelity, SoFi, and IBKR and Fidelity is absolutely last. They’re dog shit bro
Honestly I have made 4 orders in both IBKR Lite = IBKR Pro and filling time in seconds and same execution price !! But IBKR got commissions While not all trades like that because some were filled partially just partially better at IBKR Pro And I believe the importance may probably depends on the no of stocks , like 1000 or more stocks you may notice the difference
If you're asking about automated orders - just ask Claude Code to build a program to use the IBKR API to create an order with a stop loss. Those TQQQ buys in the screenshot were done manually though. BOT means buy, SLD means sold.
Thank you. This seems to be the solution. The P&L of 0$ was misleading but IBKR is known for confusing displays. Lessons learned from my side
There's two issues: 1. My guess is you had the monthly SPX option, which is AM settled, unlike the weeklies. Weeklies appear with (SPXW) in front of the expiration date. Monthly have Thu as the last trading day, but only settle Fridays. 2. It takes a few business days to settle cash, meaning, somewhere next week (either Monday or Tuesday), you'll see the actual pnl for expiries or assignments. IBKR could display it, with an unsettled cash hint, but well, they don't.

You know.. About a week ago there was some crazy chart activity on US02Y, US10Y and US30Y on a Sunday night shortly after the bond market opened, it popped up to 4.5%+ multiple times in a row and then shot back down to the previous 5m tick. Happened over the period of 2 hours or so. I only saw like one or two Discords mention it, but I saw it on IBKR Desktop, Trading View, CBNC and Market Watch charts. It's all gone now, like it never happened. I knew some fuckery was gonna happen with the Bonds. Get ready - The 2022 "iNfLaTi0N!" narrative is gonna start poking its head around again. They are gonna tare down the Nasdaq on rates. Unless Warsh just YOLO cuts regardless of what the board says.. Which I'd give a 50/50 chance of happening.
IBKR. Over 100k its low 4%. Had to look up less than and it’s showing 5.13% so looks like it has gone up a tad since a few months ago. I don’t use paid margin so I only happened to notice it when helping my wife.
Change the IBKR to female voice then lol
What about the borrow rate? IBKR has below 1% shouldn’t it be way higher for a squeeze?
What about the borrow rate? IBKR has below 1%
I actually love this feature from IBKR
The short squeeze thesis here is actually coherent - 75% utilization on IBKR with 800k shares left is a dangerous setup for shorts if any catalyst triggers forced covering. UPST's model is genuinely interesting: AI-driven lending that reduces default risk by using non-traditional credit scoring. The CEO/founder buying at $27-39 recently is a strong insider confidence signal. Main risk is macro - if unemployment ticks up and loan defaults spike, their model gets stress-tested in a way the backtests haven't seen. Watching the $32-35 level closely.
IBKR has a well, but as a EU regard I think I'm not allowed to join this US-only party (according to my broker) :(
Nice work. Which broker are you using? I'm on IBKR.
Thanks! I'm on IBKR so I'm aware of the exchange fees. Overall bearable given some reduction on premium above 1.00. And the file you attached is where I got the information on the "Per CBOE" statement. I do see that for Complex Order Auction it has custom priority and IIUC COA is triggered for marketable orders before resting on COB. I normally enter my trade as a spread but legs out on exit so I imagine my entry slippage might be bigger. Do you happen to have any insights on the auction? I'd love to stay under 390. However, due to an edge case of my trading algorithm, I don't have much room left to avoid the average. Trading on /ES isn't what I had thought.. it can't replace SPXW at all. And I mostly trade SPXW so if I'm not losing too much on execution I might just take the bullet.
0dte on IBKR shows 833.1%. Admittedly Im not entirely sure how its calculcated, other website seem to list it for specific strike prices like here https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RXT/options/ just found it funny cus the highest Ive ever seen on IBKR was ~250%
I mean, IBKR is broadly available in Europe.

IBKR now allows prediction markets trading across Kalshi, CME, and ForecastEx. Hit an ATH today, up 4% on the news.
It doesn't work like that. Fintel reads the data from IBKR. If there are no shares available to borrow on IBKR it can't update the borrow fee rate. It will be very interesting to see that number if a few hundred come up. It's also telling nobody in the last 4-5 days has been willing to lend any shares out even at that high rate of interest.
Someone in another sub has IBKR NASDAQ access at 11:05 it was well over 300.00 a share.....
Shoutout to the IBKR employee who looked at my account and said: Yeah, this guy should definitely have options access.
IBKR says short interest on this thing couldn't be more ripe for a squeeze.. I haven't seen anything like this. https://preview.redd.it/w806li87a41h1.png?width=1955&format=png&auto=webp&s=56265a0f770425a3852c439fc315940778fe3845
I closed both OA and Tradier because of Tradier. Just could never get good fills with Tradier and they would take 3-4 hours to finally fill. Schwab fills in < 10 minutes (normally instant), E*Trade fills in seconds to minutes. Manually trade now with both of them (Schwab and E*Trade). Have been thinking of opening an IBKR account (mainly to hold alternative currencies - not trade, just have in "savings account"). I was using Tradier because of the free OA, but OA not worth the price they charge for the limited trades I would do through them. Plus OA does not trade RUT directly, only through IWM, which does not cut it for me either. Nice concept, good execution of the trade engine, just poor back ends for the actual trades.
anyone knows how to enable pre-market hotkeys in IBKR dekstop?
I have IBKR and I can borrow up to 2.8X my account value, just checked
I thought tos and IBKR let you mimic this by setting conditional orders that trigger based on a different symbol. Eg, in 3 days, if SPX is between 7250 and 7300, sell to close the jun 7300C at the bid plus 1 tick
If I'm not mistaken brokers like IBKR allow you to trade through commands. I'm sure you can write a simple script to do that.
IBKR lets you buy directly from the Korean exchange
