The email you gave is TradeStation or TradeStation Global?
I'm trying to help a family member open an IBKR account using TradeStation Global but for some reason they still delayed although she already transferred the funds over.
I've tried sending TSG an email but they haven't replied so just wondering if that's TSG's email.

The email is correct. TSG reply very fast. Usually in a few hours on a working day. If weekend then need to wait until Monday.

Ok, you first uploaded the supporting documents to Tradestation Global, but you uploaded the same supporting documents to Interactive Brokers, right?


I thought that once Interactive Brokers approves the account application, Tradestation Global will rely on the account verification process done by Interactive Brokers and will not request supporting documents again from us. Then again, I could be wrong.


As requested by Interactive Brokers in Interactive Brokers website, I performed initial deposit to my trading account. I am now waiting for the upload button to appear in Interactive Brokers website, so that I can upload the supporting documents in Interactive Brokers website.

Ok, you suggest double uploading. Thanks for sharing your opinion.


As explained by Ramjade, it belongs to TradeStation Global.

I am in the same situation. Well, I performed initial deposit to my trading account. Right now, I am waiting for the upload button to appear in Interactive Brokers website, so that I can upload the supporting documents in Interactive Brokers website.

Here is the form. I am applying through TradeStation Global.

I've checked my mailbox. They sent me an email to request for supporting docs.

Just write InstaRem, Transferwise or whatever that you're using.

You don't have the account number.

Nickname: whatever you like.

Got it. Thanks for your reply. Thought have to write in the bank Instarem will used to make the transcation.

you will never know what banks they use, even if you asked the customer service. I tried!

Hahaha, yaa, they just ask me to initiate the transfer.

anyone did oversea TT before? can share what to write on it.

I've never tried TT but as with all transfers,
1) the ones you know - fill them out: bank details etc.
2) the ones you don't know - just make up a story, like Pendidikan Moral in Form 5.

No email address? Give your own or make one up.
No IC? Give your own or make one up.
No phone number? Give your own or make one up.

#this applies to InstaRem, Transferwise and all bank transfers.

None of these is important, other than the actual bank details given by IBKR.

i make it up, my IB received my USD from Maybank, in less than 30 mins!! super fast. Maybank is the best.

Hi experienced sifus,

A lot of information in this whole thread. Thanks. Newbie here just want to ask for confirmation if I am using the right link to open a whitelabel IBKR account:

https://www.tradestation-international.com/...pen-an-account/

Just use this link and the created account will automatically be whitelabelled?

Thanks

Small amount or large amount?

hi, does it matter to use idealpro or fxconv for currency conversion?

i am using the client portal to trade and it is default to idealpro. Can i jz use idealpro to convert currency and purchase the shares?

At first I try 250usd, then 1500 then 1000. So it is small amount. All very fast. The 3rd 1000 took 1hr30m, the other 2 in between 20-30mins.

Yes.

for me, no difference.

wah....... USD25 extra per transfer.

Yeah, i think fast is because its small amount.

SWIFT system is very fast nia... moves a few trillion usd a day...

big or small is still about the same amount of code...
