Where can I find short fees details at IB?

    Expand all sections and look under the sections "Fees" and "Interest" and right above the section "Financial Instrument Information". You really need to look. That section is not obvious.

    Thanks. I tried expanding everything. It is still not there. I even added all of the reporting to a custom report. It still didn't show anything. I'm on the phone with IB on hold for 2 hours trying to find this. This is what I get when I selected all sections for a custom report.

    You don't need a custom report. You just need an Activity Statement and that category will show up. You might need to wait for a month to see it on your next month's Activity Statement. It might not show up right away. I remember seeing mine in the month after when the shorting occurred.

  5. If you are using a reliable broker, you don’t have to face much hassle while determining fees details, because such brokers have transparent fee structures that you can take a look at, before you start trading with a broker.
