IB Secure Device

If unable to opt out, you may consider www.usglobalmail.com an excellent mail forwarding service. $10/$15 month and low forwarding mail expense... it filters junk mail, provides e-mail notification of mail and allows online viewing of sender, size and instructions for disposition...

I live in Paris and travel extensively, my important mail is only 2-3 days away maximum... between this service and Vonage handling my investments while living abroad has been painless.

Good luck and good trading.

 

We don't have the ability to flag uninvited accounts for opt out. PM your account details. I'll have your account invited tonight, you can send me the opt out letter tomorrow.

 

That's a good idea You won't actually send me a token, right?

 

We'll invite not enroll. No device will be sent.

 

received an email from IB - apparently they are offering the 'secure device' to all customers now. is there any reason NOT to accept their offer?
thanks

 

Are you sure that it is for all customers ?

Thanks.

 

yea, that's what the email said

 

Would someone please let me know the physical size and weight of the IB Secure device. Is it easy to travel with? Do you plug it into a USB port?

Thanks

 

Because it sucks having to use it?

 

I'm assuming that auto-login programs like IB Controller will no longer work after you get this device. Is that accurate?

Also, is there any other problems associated with this device and automated trading programs working with TWS?
