IBKR UI sucks but the trade fee is cheap so I use it

I downloaded their Windows desktop platform. IBKR Desktop. Is their new platform different?

The US ADR listing isn't that important in my view, because American investors can already get exposure to SK via DRAM ETF or IBKR. The additional marginal flow is small. I'm super bullish SK hynix (and Samsung ans Micron) because people still view memory as a cyclical commodity (you will hear plenty of that on this sub), when literally the biggest companies in the world like Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia are currently signing deals with these 3 memory makers to "co-design" and "co-fund" memory manufacturing out into several years. That's the opposite of cyclical Secondly, look at the trajectory of chip design. Memory is so critical for both training and inference at AGI/ASI scale (because context is everything), that just "plugging in some memory cards into the GPU" is a hilariously out dated model. Next generation memory will be **co-deisgned** with ASICs/GPU which means once say Google and SK have gone through the design phase for their latest TPU, they aren't able to simply rip out the memory regions and replace it with Chinese CMXT. The market hasn't fully come to terms with it, and when it does, there's further 3x multiple expansion alone (without even factoring in further earnings growth).

IBKR raises my cost basis whenever I offload shares, like bro my basis is 60 not 70... In my mind it's always 60 don't try to trick me with ur FIFO accounting bullshit

Roughly 15 years investing 100% in single stocks. First five years were tough because I was basically aping other people’s ideas and being manipulated. I was definitely underperforming SPY. At one point I even owned shares in Twitter and IBM which I sold for a loss. 😭 Then I sat in on a lecture on heterogeneous computation and saw a glimpse of the future. Bought AMD and Nvidia. Branched out into semiconductor tool and material manufacturing. Started specializing in Japanese semiconductor stocks (eg Advantest, Tokyo Ohka Kyogo, Ajinomoto, Ibiden, Tokyo electron, Disco, etc). Played with some of the earliest GPT-3 models (eg Babbage, Davinci). I read about HBM, HBF and 3D integration doubled down on semiconductors and memory. And I stopped paying attention to politics. At the moment I’m crushing all major indices according to IBKR portfolio analyst. If I have advice it would be to look carefully at your interests/passions because that is your edge over the market. If none of these align with a strong investing theme at the moment then it’s probably better to buy an ETF.

Don't have options on IBKR wtf

IhateTraaains

0 shortable shares available now in IBKR. They mad! https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nasdaq-lfvn/borrow-fee/

MitchCurry

Technically every price that isn't an actual ATH is an old ATH then, so it's redundant to say it if you're taking your stance. For example, IBKR hit an ATH today at $95.81 so every time there's a trade below $95.81, it's an old ATH. That's a lot of old ATHs.

keiron83

Anyone else using IBKR and waiting for TRUL to change into TRLV in their portfolio? I currently cannot sell my stock, not that I am planning to any time soon.

interstellar_nips

Isn’t it pretty easy to generate very comprehensive performance reports from IBKR?

IhateTraaains

I know it's from IBKR, the page even says that, but it's still a good indicator. I'll probably be averaging down in July, depending on the squeeze potential at the time

ryzetard

i sure would love to have your conviction but you know this data is from IBKR which means its 10k shares available to borrow for retail traders? institutions got their own dark pools and their liquidity is much higher than this. you can average down on shares i guess because its not a dying business but i wouldnt bet on a short term spike anytime soon

hockeytemper

goddamn... that is why I have 90% of my portfolio is in cash at IBKR earning 3.14% safely, the rest in scotia bank and [DFN.TO](http://DFN.TO) stocks paying me monthly.... To be honest I have lost 200,000$ multiple times on Tesla over night in the past and waitied it out and made it back( I live in Asia so most action happens when I sleep). you dont sleep too well when you open one eye in bed and see how much $ you lost. ( I dont do options, its was just Tesla volatility) SpaceX will be the same. I took my risks when i was late 30's.... now I am late 40's, I play it safe now. The Spacex IPO, i could have gotten in and made 40% in 2 days, but nope - I dont trust their business model or financials, but who ever said the stock market was rational.

Shit, I forgot to check pre-ipo shares on IBKR. My primary broker is Merrill Lynch.

LegitosaurusRex

Left some gains on the table on the first run because I didn't realize it was going to be picked up by WSB; all the posts started that Friday and that weekend after I closed my positions. My original thesis was also of fat-finger trades on IPO day, but once people started posting about it and it started pumping, I just played it like the pump and dump it became, since I knew the selling volume on IPO day would far outweigh any accidental purchases. Wanted to short more on IPO day, but thought it might pop in the morning, so I had some limit orders that didn't get hit before the sell off. I use IBKR, which sucks for screenshotting past gains (splits single orders up into a bunch of tiny partial fills, looks like an excel spreadsheet), plus I had some unrelated trades in there, so I had Claude make a visualization. Can always screenshot though if people want proof.

Saw your post, looked into the company, and decided to jump in too. Damn IBKR locked me out of options trading though. hit me with a 15-day restriction until I update my profile. Ended up just grabbing some shares at 4.13.

I made a scanner based on a modified version of your checklist since not everything is available from the IBKR api. Still lots of bugs but it is coming along... https://preview.redd.it/z60kzr4gco7h1.png?width=1835&format=png&auto=webp&s=e171c50f801067b24aeaecaf5572aa24ed3f681d

is anyone able to buy/sell options? I'm trying to hedge w/ collar and can't even get anything filled. IBKR :(

MikeMikeGaming

Can't even order options on spcx lmfao IBKR says "order pending"

Temporary-Basil-3030

IBKR just let me know they were thinking of me and have plenty of locates.

corndog_messiah

I sold mine, IBKR might ban me from IPOs 60 days. Boohoo

lambardar

I got at 135 and mostly 150. I sold 80% of my position at 170. with IBKR.

lambardar

I'm on IBKR and I got filled at 135 and then mostly at 150. I dumped 80% of my position when it hit 170.

Jerikolol

on IBKR yeah, u can directly buy Korean stocks. Prolly others brokers too (since a few months ago)

PckMan

Weird cause on IBKR right now it doesn't show it ever went higher than 215 or so.

I can see SPX but not NDX running in extended hours on hood. Lemme check IBKR

IBKR hat echte Optionen

ArthoriasOfTheLight

IBKR has the one listed on the Frankfurt exchange IIRC, probably the easiest way, tho the spread is about 1% on there.

ArthoriasOfTheLight

Would it be worth getting in through the Frankfurt exchange (IBKR offers it) before this? Their valuation doesn't seem that much cheaper compared to MU, so not sure if there would be any significant short term boost

dorkstar1

IBKR sounds sophisticated and sucks with so granular and detail level splits of all the changers and fees. Make it seamless like Webull or HOOD

FluffyLoveBall

It’s insanely messy and unintuitive. I use IBKR as my main account and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out the whole app. Compared to rh, ibkr is supreme for me.

BrotherDirect744

I mean IBKR Is far better

averysmallbeing

Yes, or IBKR. 

winterscherries

None of them are uncommon. I can use my Rogers credit card everywhere in the world, but I still pay a conversion fee. If you trade US stocks, just hold USD balances. Outside of that, maintaining balances or paying monthly fees isn't unusual either, just like banks waiving certain fees only after reaching a certain amount held with them. There's a lot of things that IBKR doesn't do well but that WS does well. IBKR is closer to a pure trading platform, whereas WS is closer to an all-in-one personal finance ecosystem. WS offers free tax filling, probably the best credit card out there (2% everywhere, period), free ATM withdrawal no matter what branch, earning risk-free in your cash holdings, etc. It absolutely crushes its competition if you're not just looking for an active trading platform.

tinzor

I bought 13 shares at 150 and sold them at 171 on IBKR. Haven’t received anything out of the ordinary.

averysmallbeing

High but hidden fees, so there's a cult out there that will insist they have zero commission and then not tell you about the 1.5% CAD:USD (and back again) currency conversion markup, hidden options exercise fees, that sort of thing. You have to pay a monthly fee or maintain a hundred grand balance to avoid arbitrary problems and drawbacks that other brokerages give you for free.  Wealthsimple is intended for people who can't handle an interface with a modicum of complexity like IBKR or something, and want to feel good about their platforms rather than actually getting the best deal financially. They also don't support Norbert's Gambit and don't pay interest on cash balances in your investment accounts that you're using as collateral for CSPs, for example. 

Professional_Elk_489

She said - is that trading view? What's the PE x value? Narrative trending hard? I love IBKR and Robinhood too Then I woke up

Cagliari77

I'm on IBKR but I'm not selling the IPO. I bought shares after it started trading.

vandalizethethief

No I agree. I have money in a bunch of accounts & I’m not rich but boy does it suck if a trading account drops below $25k & I’m not ready. I got one account banned to sells only so I had to transfer it, lock up my funds for like a couple weeks & usually losing 10% in the process. I have Schwab, SoFi (also my bank so immediate transfers), robinhood and IBKR. Fidelity also just sent me a notice that my account will be handed over to the state soon. Apparently, I forgot I signed up for a bonus deposited $250 and never used it so w/ the bonus I got $300 coming my way

rideveryday

Next week just open the IBKR paper account with millions profit

robben1234

Retail traders could buy it for $150 when it opened and my 1 share filled at IBKR just at that price after another broker allocated me a grand total of 0 shares for IPO.

Error404IQMissing

Luckily IBKR allows buying in Korean market. 

Right_Turnover_9755

Most people in this thread are right on the nose about your shares that were shorted were likely redeemed by the common stock holder. However, the timeline is what I think is throwing me off. If you shorted shares “a few days ago” you would have been past the redemption window for the merger meeting. Unless Robinhood does their shorting differently, you should only be able to short “available shares” whether through a pool like IBKR or locates.

Efferdent_FTW

Shorts available dropped from 53k to 15k. Shorts were suppressing at ~$9 level. I'm guessing to keep $10 otm and reduce delta hedging. May 15-31st FTD numbers are released Monday. Today's FINRA numbers aren't released yet on fintel. T+35 thesis isn't holding. IBKR showed 22k volume at market open which could be FTD coverage but that's 14k short of the May 8th FTD 34k if T+35 was true. Likely that shorts were rolled over off-exchange which would clear them from FTD requirement, but just deepens the cut for them. Monday dividend is $177k which equates to one day of borrow rate interest. The long thesis still holds. We need a catalyst early next week to trigger a delta hedge amplified by gamma squeeze. My June 18th options are raising my BP.

insbordnat

oh please. next you're going to tell me that people from SpaceX sat on a call with the bookrunners determining how much every non-bookrunner of the tombstone got allocated, and then they had some visibility into the book this morning to see how things were shaping up and getting subscribed, and then they had the audacity to ultimately determine who got what before they closed the book, and then those allocated investors had some preference as to who they were going to allocate to based on their allocation, and that those retail brokerages (IBKR, Schwab, Etrade, etc.) didn't get their full requested allocation and filled based on their ultimate allocation. it's all a conspiracy, and investors at the rinky dink ass brokerages got the shaft while the big boys at GS, BAML, Citi, MS, WF, and JPM had some pull to allocate to their institutional clients or something ^(/s if it wasn't obvious)

InevitableAd2436

Fidelity fucking sucks for trading. I use it for a 529 and my 401k There’s nothing better than IBKR for active trading, margin, products and flexibility. The interface just isn’t appeasing. It’s bare bones

old_copper_kettle

Fidelity if you’re an investor, Webull if you’re a gambler. IBKR is great but the divide has narrowed a lot over the last 5 years and the interfaces elsewhere just make shit easier if you’re trading small moves and aren’t automating things. But yeah RH is just a rookie move.

IncredibleDongle

Nah IBKR is doodoo. Fidelity is the way.

InevitableAd2436

Switch to IBKR. Robinhood sucks Might have to pay a commission but I’ve never dealt with that bs and the fills are always best price

Thanks, IBKR has a 60 day penalty I found. I remember doing it once... Maybe I'll be blocked from SpaceX

CMDR_Shepard96

No SPCX on IBKR yet..

Specialist_Spite5930

Aajaha okay, I thought IBKR broke lol

cyswim

Thanks for the info and congrats! 😁 Do you know if IBKR also have this option?

Cartier1847

My $135 order hasn’t filled on IBKR. Maybe I should raise the order price?

kersplatttt

IBKR if you sell within 30 days you cannot join a new IPO for 60 days. I'm selling probably in the first hour

arthjt27

Fuck it, fuck it, and fuck it again. Got 61 on 500 in EU on IBKR. 😤😤😤

thrillho145

IBKR taking too long to process my deposit so I can't bandwagon into spacex  Probably for the best 

Blankline

Absolutely. IBKR should have a support link or something to walk you through the process. Normally takes a week or so (double check because I can’t remember the specifics) but if it’s not a swing trade it should be no problem. If you can’t find any help, I am sure if you call their support line they’ll help. Only thing to be mindful of is realized capital gains this year, you will need to report from both brokerages. Not a “real” problem but something to keep in mind in April.

Blankline

IBKR is a brokerage, like robinhood, but way better (not as pretty on the phone). Can get into trouble buying foreign stocks, lots seem great but certain counties have less regulation. I do recommend getting into IBKR though. Unless you are experienced, stick with the “lite” option. The other will only benefit you if you trade a significant amount of options/use margin.

yoddbo

Care to explain for a dumbass? Whats GDR Hy9h? IBKR?

Designer_Respect4285

If you want to get in early, you can buy it through its GDR Hy9h, it's my third biggest holding right now. I think IBKR lets you buy SK Hynix directly at this point as well.

JuanGuillermo

Neither does IBKR.

Temporary-Basil-3030

Wouldn’t be surprised. IBKR would not let me buy more than one call.

For your brokerage, you can choose IBKR (Interactive Brokers), which excellently serves international clients. For ETFs, you can opt for VT for global market exposure, invest in VOO, or give priority to SPYM. Like VOO, SPYM tracks the S&P 500 but features a lower share price and a cheaper management fee. Alternatively, you can enable UK stock trading on IBKR to buy London-listed ETFs. For instance, VWRA tracks the global market, and VUAA tracks the S&P 500. Both are accumulating ETFs—meaning they don't pay out dividends but automatically reinvest them to maximize the compounding effect. This approach saves you a significant amount in taxes. For one, the dividend withholding tax sent to the US government is reduced to just 15%. Furthermore, because these ETFs are domiciled in Ireland, they are exempt from US estate tax. To put that into perspective, the US only grants a $60,000 estate tax exemption to non-US citizens. Anything over $60,000 is hit with a massive 40% tax. For example, on a $1 million portfolio, the US government would take $400,000, leaving your family with only $600,000. On top of that, your home country might levy its own estate tax depending on your local tax laws. Therefore, investing in Irish-domiciled ETFs is your best bet. However, keep in mind that IBKR is virtually the only US brokerage available to foreigners that allows access to the UK market. Other US brokers only let you buy US-listed stocks, leaving you vulnerable to the 30% US dividend tax and the 40% estate tax.

goldenlamp

IBKR already warning me that if I sell within 30 days I can’t do new IPOs

i4play

Guys, anyone can help me? I am not seeing 06/12 in the options chain (IBKR). Earliest is 06/18?

tortoisepump

Bro. Margin exists. Long IBKR.

goldenlamp

Even IBKR is having advertisements of the SPCX IPO on their website lmao

Gardenrosethorn

does anyone have an IBKR referral code?

Efferdent_FTW

The halts were coded LUDP which is an automatic volatility circuit breaker when small cap stocks drop 20% in a short period of time. This happened twice. IBKR had 3 short lenders yesterday morning, 5 in the evening and showing 9 today. CBT spiked from 200% to 240% overnight. This was a coordinated attack. One that failed, now they are holding additional shorts at $7.33. We see the pattern now. Check the CBT and number of lenders at EOD today, check it before market opens. If it spikes, set some low buy limits because there's an attack coming. I'm sure some of us had our stop limits triggered.

Due-pussy-1312

Without any knowledge of IPOs, this sounds to me like their desired threshold had not been hit yet. If there is a thing like a threshold for such things. IBKR just sent me an email reminder too, saying I'm eligible for the IPO. Doesn't feel all that confident to be that all these brokers have to send out reminders

corndog_messiah

IBKR extended the spacex ipo subscription window greed really knows no bounds

Oversubscribed - sure. “We wanted to make you aware of the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") announced by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the “Issuer”). The deadline to apply has been extended to Thursday, 11th June at 14:00 CEST. The share price will be announced prior to the start of dealings.”
