在IB上以往交易使用idealpro，但幾次看別人分享其實應用fxconv
idealpro其實是leverage且在負值時會收取利息
因為會留一列unrealized gain/loss很礙眼又平倉沒成功下
跟客服chat釐清詳下：
ChatSys: This chat is associated with ticket #99718. Please record this
number for use in future inquiries. You are currently in room 'General
Assistance'
Sean F: Hello, this is 'Sean F'. How may I help you?
wchris167: Hello
Yes, I would like to buy foreign currency with fxconv
but i can find where to put it. all I can trade is with idealpro
but I don't want to use Idealpro
to simplify the question, how can I use the "fxconv"
Sean F: Hi
What platform are you on
wchris167: Webtrader
Sean F: If your order is under usd 25000, it is FXConv
If over it is IdealPro.
You cannot designate that on Webtrader
wchris167: Is idealpro a leverage and charge any interest? as I used it to
buy Euro, and after the transaction done, it keeps showing a row with
unrealized gain/loss
and I learned from internet that fxconv is the real currency conversion,
while idealpro is leverage, and it charges fee when the unrealized gain/loss
become loss
Sean F: It is not leverage
FXConv orders are small and considered odd lots. so you might get a wider bid
offer.
wchris167: with idealpro after the transaction why it keeps showing a row
with moving unrealized gain/loss, does it affect anything?
or how can I clear it?
Sean F: That is a Virtual position. Forex traders like to see records of
trades after execution for rate tracking. You can delete it but only in TWS
wchris167: okay, so it's only for reference and won't charge any additional
fee/interest in the future, right?
Sean F: Correct.
wchris167: ok, that's very clear and straight forward. Thank you very much
sir.
have a great day!
依據這位客服Sean的肯定說法, idealpro其實就是一般的換匯,只是金額在USD 25K以下
而留著的那一列只是for reference, 不會charge任何利息和費用
這與先前文章的結論有出入,請高手釋疑
感謝感謝~
