    anyone actually able to enter a trade?

    i added it to my permissions and it shows 'approved' in acct management. everything shows up fine as far as quotes, but when i go to enter a trade, it says i don't have permission?!?!?

    seems IB doesn't have this worked out b4 rolling it out. besides not being able to actually trade, IB shows no commission info in the unbundled section. in fact, i was doing a 1 lot trial trade (well, trying to, anyway) to see wtf the commissions are.

    Steve, Def......

  3. Attached are Ninja Trader config screen for KOSPI futures. There are 2 tabs, one is Definition and the other one is Misc.


    What is the ticker symbol in IB for KOSPI?

    Is it K200? Or something else.
    If something, what is that?

    Thanks for advise.

    The only broker who supports KOSPI is IB. Zen-fire is only for US and EU markets.

  9. For US tax payer, if you trade KOSPI (symbol K200 in IB) future, do you get 60/40 (60% long term; 40% short) tax treatment as well, just like if you trade ES/NQ?

    Please advise. Thanks.

  10. I hope there is also some action for European customers as well soon:

    http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/poll/poll.php?sid=4026

    Its a shame the first wire out transfer with IB is free but receiving bank treat the wire (coming from an account in Europe!) as foreign because it was initiated by an US BIC.

    Please change this,

    Alex.
