QUOTE(Yggdrasil @ Dec 15 2019, 07:36 PM) How much did you put in btw? I think if you do not put in enough, your account will not be activated. Not mistaken you need $500 or something. Have you tried buying any stock? 5k MYR so...approx 1k+ USD... Nope, because the application status still = pending This post has been edited by nbafans99: Dec 15 2019, 09:06 PM

Did you guys notice this?
Under the financial instrument in TWS, I bought SXR8. but if I go via the portal and under report > trades, it says CXPS as trade symbol.
Why they use two different symbols for the same product? Very confusing!

Very confusing! my guess is smart routed your order to a different exchange and bought it under that cspx ticker same product can have different ticker at different exchange...you go to blackrock site and it shows all the tickers

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Oct 1 2019, 10:39 PM) Just go with Whitelabels. Lite is only limited to US markets. You think I can hit USD10/month commision? No. That's why I opted to go with Whitelabels. Allow me the peace of mind of buying whenever I want and not forced buying. Another thread on whitelabels https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4744515The first thread is the original one with more info. Hi Ramjade, I am an IB pro account holder for 2 years now, every month, they charge me for $20 plus (for inactive fee + real time data). And I only trade US stocks and ETF. Do you think I could switch my account to lite, to save this monthly charges? What are the different between IB pro and lite if I only trade US stocks and ETF?

He's using whitelabels to skip the charges. Do you know "whitelabels"? No, most of us are not subscribed to real time data. Lite is only available to US & India residents.

QUOTE(esthercpl @ Dec 17 2019, 03:45 PM) Should be fine. Once your IBKR account is opened, follow TradeStation Global's instructions on their website to move your account. If you applied via TradeStation Global account, you don't have to do anything.

I've been using smart algo all the time. This only applies to the exchange fees? It's still considered as one order? For example, 100 unit at Xetra. They sliced it into 50 unit at Xetra, 50 at LSE. Then how? Min €1.75 per order for Xetra; min £1.50 per order for LSE. So I'll be paying for both fees plus their respective exchange fees?
