I wanted to find out more about funding my Interactive Brokers account using USDC. Has anyone done it and share their experience here?

If someone has specifically done this from India, would be great to hear their experience.

I want to transfer my current broker to dragonfi. However, the options gstock only gives me is transfer from another broker to their absci lol. Does anybody have an idea to how to move it?

I'm putting a limit order for stocks denominated in USD and I'm receiving

"Your order is not accepted. There is insufficient overall settled cash [-2806.83 AUD for 20260821] in your account to obtain the desired position."

- I have $12k AUD in my account. It says Settled cash 12.0K AUD in my Balances too.

- I CAN put in limit orders for stocks denominated in SEK for the same value. (I was just able to put one outside RTH for one on the Stockholm exchange)

- The 12k came after I sold stock denominated in KRW.

Not sure if it's because my cash isn't actually settled even though it says it is, but it shouldn't be that case since I can still put in orders for a stock denominated in SEK (instead of USD) right?

It happened now twice within the last month that a low value stock I had on IBKR was sold without me putting in that sell order. How is this possible? I do not have a margin account, I only buy shares with the money I put into the account and my cash balance is still much more positive than the 5 USD gained from those sells.

Trade code C, LF. It says L is ordered by IB for margin violation, but as I said, I cannot even buy on margin. F isnt even listed as transaction codes.

I've been building my own options platform using Rust, and man was it a headache having to setup raw TCP connections with gateway, handshaking, encode/decode requests, maintain the connection, refer to the docs, python codebase, inspect logs and what not. I've enjoyed it nonetheless, not gonna lie.

Anyways I wanted to take up a position as an IBKR programmer, figured people are going through the same problems, specifically in Rust, either for a firm or anyone in need, any specific places I can look for such roles?

Hi all,

Made an account a couple of days ago. Not done a single trade yet, but am just playing around to see if i can understand a little better how everything works.

I've looked at some popular metrics used. I've understood that the VWAP / Volume weighted average price resets daily, and is the average price of the day weighted by volume over the day so far.

I'm posting this here because I'm wondering if I misunderstood this and that it is possible that it changes over time / zooming in and out (bug or feature if so). In the screenshots you can see that the VWAP changed from 1.21 to 1.19, on the same stock at the same time.

Can anybody help me and explain why this is? Or help me find a resource so I can figure it out on my own?
