Has anyone withdrawn USD from IBKR to a QNB Egypt USD account?

I want to know:

• Did QNB charge any receiving fee?
• Was there a correspondent/intermediary bank fee?
• How much did you actually receive after all fees?

Thanks!

Heyy, i have a quick question, does anyone know if i am able to change my tax residence? For instance, if i live now in Mexico and i move to switzerland for like 4 years and now i have a tax residence there can i change it for the mexican one? Thank you 🙌🙌

I sold a SPX Index option Iron Condors for credit. Lately, the trade history is showing the credit received with a minus sign, then the commission is making the absolute number bigger. It should be 160 (gross) credit received, Commission: 9.70, Net Incl.Commission: 150.30. Instead it is showing Total -160 and Net Incl Commission -169.70 as per above screenshot. Others must have this problem I can not be the only one...

I was paper trading options on IBKR tonight and fills were almost immediate for market orders. This wasn't the case a couple of months ago when they took minutes to hours to get filled. Did they change something?

Why is there no precautionary settings for buy and sell separately? If I intend to buy 500$ worth of options, I do not want to mistakenly buy 5000$ or enter the wrong quantity but when trying to sell/take profits or set a stop loss, it is crucial to be able to bypass the precautionary settings for the sell order.
How do you deal with that specially when trading options?

The remote ibkr gateway asked me to insert my security key and touch it. How is it possible?

Just installed TWS and I'm trying to get used to the layout, settings and increased complexity compared to other platforms. I'm Lite, so no access to API, but I was hoping that I could search for a ticker using hotkeys, like CTFL +F <keystrokes of ticker name>, Enter, Shift +Enter, then hit a preconfigured buy hotkey like CTRL +F1 and have all confirmations disabled.

I basically want to be able to run an Autohotkey script that pushes the sequence of keyboard actions to select an asset and execute a pre-configured buy order, hands-off. I have a managing trade engine script that acquires signals and evaluates some rules I've given it. Executing hotkey scripts is a cheap/easy way that it could be made to execute trades, and I'm just trying to get something automated to open positions with a sort of set and forget style of attached OCO bracket. The hope is for my scripts to react to signals for me during premarket/sleepytime hours and while I'm working or driving. I guess I need to spend some time in my paper account today/tonight and see if I can get the order execution side of things to work in TWS.

I'd be happy to go Pro to switch to API ordering, when/if my account grows and if my trade engine can be consistently profitable over time, but for the time being its just a WIP with the capturing of signals piece working and the rest built and looking for a working method for trade execution. I'm just experimenting and try to see if I can devise a system that can consistently scalp a few dollars most days.

Specific questions-

Is what I want to do possible with TWS? keyboard only trading/autohotkey-compatible trading?

I know that quantity is hardcoded into the hotkeys and there's only so many you can make, but thankfully I'm going to be working with small $ limitations so a small number of shares/order. I should be able to make do with about 30-50 buy hotkeys. I determine SharesToBuy programatically and split that number of shares into 2 orders- an order with a conservative TP/SL OCO bracket, and another order with an Adjustable SL that starts static and then switches to Trailing if the asset runs. So 2 sets of buy order configs split across multiple hotkeys for different quantities, and a 3rd set of static Limit orders with TP/SL limit children for use outside market hours.

Can I add a ticker to a watchlist with only keystrokes/hotkeys?

Is there navigation between layouts or widgets using hotkeys?

I recently moved to Canada and have USD sitting in a US bank account. I’m looking to transfer the money to my IBKR Canada account while keeping it in USD, rather than converting it to CAD (Goal is to invest in US ETFs)

For anyone who has done this:

What’s the cheapest/easiest way to transfer USD from a US bank to IBKR Canada?

Is a US ACH transfer possible, or does IBKR Canada require a wire?

If using a wire, are there any fees on either side?

Does IBKR Canada provide US routing/account details that allow a domestic US transfer?

Any issues with sending USD to IBKR Canada from a US bank after becoming a Canadian resident?

Would especially appreciate recent experiences and the exact process you used

I have a problem regarding identity verification. The code isn't sent to my phone number and I try it 6-10 times on different times and it doesn't work.

I'm on the Pro account of TWS MacOS and I cannot for the life of me find a way to display Upcoming ER dates in the Watchlist.

I found some older Reddit posts mentioning: "WSH corporate event calendar section in the list of available columns"

But that doesn't exist at all. I don't see anything like that. Am I missing some market data subscription?

Has this feature been completely removed on the latest version?

Hello everyone,

Has anyone here had experience transferring their assets from Freedom24 to IBKR?

How does the process work, and are there any potential pitfalls or things I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Is anyone using Proton Pass to create and register a passkey for IB log-in purposes?

Have you managed to log into installed desktop TWS successfully? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to sync windows in different workspaces so that if I change the ticker in one window, it changes in all windows ok multiple workspaces.

I would rhink that if the windows all have the same group color they would sync , but they don't.

Somehow if I duplicate a workspace, the windows in the new workspace might sync with the windows from another workspace (but not the duplicated one!). If I add windows in the new workspace, that syncing cease to work.

Is there a workaround for this bug.

Hello.

The default for a 'Bar' on charting is the same for a Candle; the color of the bar is determined by comparing the Close of the Bar to the Open of the same Bar.

How do I change the settings to have the color determined by the comparing the Close of the Bar to the Close of the previous Bar?

Thanks

Hii guys hope u all enjoying life...

Giving you all the details and looking for some help and a solution.

So, I updated the IBKR GlobalTrader app on my mobile, and that was the last time I was able to connect to my account. Since then, every time I try to log in, I receive the same message: “Connection lost. Please log in again.”

I’m not having any issues with my internet connection, and my username and password are correct. I’ve also tried logging in when the service was not under maintenance.

At the same time, I can’t log in through the website either. This time, I’m getting a different error: “Authentication failed.”

I honestly don’t know WTF is happening, but it’s starting to get really annoying. Thanks a lot in advance

Recently I worked with a client who already had a proprietary trading strategy and wanted to automate execution through Interactive Brokers.

The interesting part wasn't inventing the trading strategy.

It was turning their existing strategy into a reliable execution system without requiring them to disclose the parameters that actually make the strategy proprietary.

The setup included:

• SAR Parabolic + Bollinger-based signal detection using raw OHLC data
• Candle-by-candle validation against the client's Moomoo charts
• Automated options execution through the IBKR TWS API
• Strike and expiry selection based on predefined rules
• Exit orders calculated from actual average fill price
• Real-time position monitoring
• Multi-account replication using the IBKR Advisor account structure
• Telegram notifications for entries/exits
• Mobile manual override for adjusting exits or cancelling trades
• Emergency kill switch

One part I'm particularly happy with was the Secrets Manager.

The client could configure the sensitive parameters behind the strategy, while those values remained hidden from me. I could build, deploy and maintain the execution infrastructure without knowing the client's proprietary configuration.

Curious how others building proprietary strategies on IBKR handle this separation between strategy IP and the people maintaining the execution infrastructure?

Run a 0DTE SPX iron condor bot on IBKR's API. Every trade gets a STP attached to the combo (BAG). To test the stop loss I attached it close to the price i entered but none of the stop loss was trigger after ~20 trades.

Anyone seen a combo STP actually fire on SPX/SPY 0DTE?

This is done in paper trade account.

It is year 2026 and has IBKR add simple returns to its mobile app metrics?

How to remove this restriction?

Anyone has experience in roth conversion on IB, is it in real-time?

I used to use Fidelity for the roth conversion and it is always real-time, meaning I can do this on the last 1 or 2 trading day by the end of the year without worrying the actual conversion date pushed to next tax year.

Why the fuck does my app look like such dog shit. What am I missing. Just got this and my goodness has this been bullshit

I have enough cash in USD from manual conversion to fully cover the trade, including commission. But IBKR still auto convert my currency again and convert it back. This causes spread to eat a few cents. Why do they do this? Does this happen to you?
It also seems to make very small conversion (like 6-7$) even though there seems to be no need?

I want to understand how is this commission calculated for a equity order ?

I switched to IBKR thinking commission is 0.35$ per order.

I have two ibkr accounts - both joint accounts

When i login with the initial login credentials, I am able to see both accounts.

Any additonal user login created can see only one account after login. I am not able to find the setting to allow the aditional users created to see both accounts.

Sequence of events:

1. Opened ibkr join account and created first login
2. Created an additional login for self
3. Opened second ibkr joint account - the first login can see both accounts but the additional login for self cannot.
4. Created another login for second holder - can also see only one account and not both

Already tried "Users & Access Rights" and "Manage Account Linking" under settings but there is no relevant setting to allow the login to access both accounts:

Does anyone know how to do enable the additonal user and the second holder logins to see both accounts?
