SSL does not protect you (look up man-in-the-middle attacks on Google).
Today is the last day of the period of that future. IB warns you that they told you (read TC) that if you buy a future contract or shares you will not get it delivered. Hence IB will close your position just before market will be closed (I think it is today 12 o/c CST or something - look into contract description).Anyone else having trouble placing ZB trades on the TWS simulator? Since yesterday I keep getting a message about order handling rules for physical delivery futures. Never had this trouble before.
No maxima. He was on the TWS simulator. If IB hadn't stopped him he would be receiving 100 bushels of simulated wheat on imaginary trucks, which would have useful only if he owned a simulated oven and was on a diet.Today is the last day of the period of that future.

You have to speculate and not to invest. You cant buy 100 bushels of wheat as a future contracts and get this wheat delivered to bake cakes. :smart:
Or he could brew a truckload of imaginary beer and drink to death!No maxima. He was on the TWS simulator. If IB hadn't stopped him he would be receiving 100 bushels of simulated wheat on imaginary trucks, which would have useful only if he owned a simulated oven and was on a diet.
sounds weird. The only thoght springs in mind is that you are a niece/nephew of bin laden
A few months ago I applied to IB to trade futures via a US account, sent scans of my passport, of my bank details, of my credit card details as well as sending USD 10,000 to their Citibank account.
I then waited, and waited, made many, many calls, sent several e-mails, until I lost the plot and quite simply told them that in my head, 6 weeks was sufficient time to either accept my application or reject it. I did this via e-mail, twice over a few weeks.
After my second e-mail, they rejected my application siting their risk assessment indicated I was unsuitable.
My advice would be to get a copy of your credit report. They try to hide it
Who tries to hide what exactly and for what reason ?

Applied late Thursday, only hiccup was that they wanted a bank statement to prove my address and I bank online. In the end printed, scanned and e-mailed them a copy of my bank statement, and got the account approved e-mail this morning. :clap:
My advice would be to get a copy of your credit report. They try to hide it, but all of them have to produce a cheap report (assuming you're UK based here?). For example:
https://www.econsumer.equifax.co.uk/consumer/uk/gb_consumerletter.ehtml
£2 for a credit report. That might provide some insight into what happened.
[Thank you for your interest. To confirm,
1. Minimum to open an account $2,000 USD or similar in any of the other six currencies we support.
2. To trade US shares (bundled = brokerage, exchange, clearing and regulatory fees) .005/share commission or min. of $1; max of .2% of principal.
3. Minimum brokerage fee $10 per month.
4. Market data fees, vary per exchange. For example to view US prices, $10 per month. If you execute over $30 of brokerage per month IB will waive the $10 market data fee.
5. With your initial deposit you can trade some products. We ask approx., the same margins that the exchanges ask per product.
Actually IB is asking you to have at least $50,000 in liquid net worth, and the same as a yearly net income. So you need a little more than only $2,000 to open an account.
That said; anybody knows a workaround?
