    Hello,

    I have been a long time IB client and just checking my july( customized ) statement, I realize I have a whole new "forex positions" and "forex transactions" title in the statement. My base currency is EUR but I trade USD products( I always have the necessary USD amount for the margins of USD positions ).

    Under this title transactions have nothing to do with the actual forex trades/conversions I do for when I withdraw money in Europe, it's like every single trade I made in US products appears as a forex transaction and more importantly there is a EUR proceeds column with tiny amounts that add up as if it were fees:)mad: ).

    What's this section? How does it come it just poped up this month( I didn't modify my customized statement ) ? Tell me there haven't been a config problem that resulted in borrowing USD for every positions I took this month...

    Thanks a lot.
