Account set up (Interactive Brokers)

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by Sebastian Fibonacci, Feb 20, 2020.

  1. Hi guys,

    My Sebastian, I am from Romania.
    Today I tried to open an account on IB but I ended up being confused about the section that required a certain a amount of liquidity.
    Here is what I got after I complete the form.

    I am a student and those nr. are too high for me to be able to set up an account, should i put an higher amount just to skip this step or will this affect me in anyway?

    Help me, I really want to set up an account, I had been using other trading platform and I didn't faced those requirement, I just set up an acc. with 200 euros and that was it.

    Besides on IB website they mention that an account can start from 0 USD.

    Then you need a liquid net worth over 20,000.

    I hear Robinhood takes fools money all the time. Perhaps try there.



    Also as a side note asking for advice on lying on a regulatory form is a terrible idea. IB people monitor this forum as well. I'm surprised this isn't a bannable offense.
     
  6. Start a part-time job and save all money you receive from it. Until you have the equivalent of USD20,000 (or more). Then open your IB account.

    You don't trade with 200 euros, it's completely pointless. This isn't some lottery.
