How do you convert profits in foreign currency in Interactive Broker's TWS ?

How do you convert profits in foreign currency in Interactive Broker's TWS ? it seems that when im trading foreign stocks in another currency, the profits are directly accumulated in the foreign currency. is there an auto function to auto convert all P/L ?


There's no auto function that I know of. You have to sell your Euros (or whatever currency) for dollars at the going rate and pay a trading fee.

But you don't need to worry about it until you sell the shares.

Which is a better choice? OptionXpress or Interactive Broker if I'm starting my option trading?

Trading from Malaysia, appreciate if you share other online brokers available for Malaysian :)

Interactive Brokers is less expensive but supplies very little support. OptionXpress is a little more expensive but supplies more support. Both have good reputations for good fills, good trading platforms and accuracy.

Dear friend,
I think now a days nobody wants to trade with any broker. Their are lots of big shots which are giving online trading by which any one can trade in any stock or commodities at any time of market.

The bigs company are ICICI BANK, KOTAK SECURITIES, INDIA BULLS, SHARE KHAN, and lots more . Only you have to see which company is nearby.Best of LUCK.

Can anyone name a broker who offers trading in commercial paper?

I know my broker Interactive Brokers does not, and neither does any broker I have ever had before, but it seems like a useful asset class to be able to trade.


I assume you mean online ones? None that I know of. You need a traditional broker such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill, UBS, Smith Barney, etc.

Interactive Brokers brings the stock loan marketplace to the ...

If you business with Interactive Brokers and have over $100,000 in your account, skim on, because Interactive Brokers well-deserved made it easier to eliminating transfer. If not, thug destiny, although IB still has countless midget estimate availability. See my one-time tutorial on how to borrows shares of estimate to lacking in singular brokers .

First, if you have over $100,000 at IB and do not have portfolio leeway , you will have to dispose of up for it to access IB’s new forebear borrowing system. Traders with under $100,000 in neutrality are not single for portfolio boundary line.

The shares tarry borrowed until the exclusive of seller returns the shares or until the lender recalls the dividend. I am not unshakable whether the shares can be shorted, covered, and then re-shorted throughout the day.

I did try divergent symbols in the system and it appears that OTC BB stocks are not supported. Some Nasdaq smallcap stocks were not at one's fingertips, while others were.

If you itch to try to get through one's head out the investment lending system on your own, here are the directions .
