We are all in the same boat. Little interest per customer accumulates and turns into noticeable amount. I think this is how a big company earns...
Do you remember how much was converted? Did IB charge you any fee or commission?
Not if you trade futures whose currency is not your base currency. lol
Does it really happen? When did this happen to you last time? How much was converted back? The small balances have been there for quite some...
What if I simply leave those balances unattended? What happens when I close the IB account?
Let's say you have some small balances in various currencies: AUD: -9.57 EUR: +11.63 JPY: -1900 What should I do? I have to close out...

umm... The delay is not going to be more than half of a second. I don't think it matters. It may matter for those who like to chase after price...
Why do we need to read threads here to get the latest news or changes from IB? They don't notify you of the changes in any way. They don't like...
That is how they want to do their fair business. Potential customers will be misled easily when they read that IB pays X%. They don't know IB...
