Trading Konfiguration
Bevor man zu handeln anfängt, muss man seinen Account entsprechend seinen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren. Dazu gehört die Wahl des Account Typen, der Trading Permissions und der Abonnemente für Marktdaten und Nachrichten. An dieser Stelle weisen wir Sie darauf hin, dass das Abonnieren von Trading Permissions unabhängig ist von der Wahl von Marktdaten Abonnementen. Sie können ihre Trading Konfigurationen während des Account Eröffnungsprozesses oder zu einem beliebigen, späteren Zeitpunkt via Account Management einstellen. Der Account Typ setzt die Art fest, wie in ihrem Konto die Margin berechnet wird. Erhältlich sind Reg T Margin, Cash und Portfolio Margin.
Trading Permissions bestimmen welche Produkte gehandelt werden können und an welchen Börsen dies möglich ist. Bei der Spezifizierung ihrer gewählten Permissions werden Sie von den jeweils zuständigen Regulierungsbehörden aufgefordert, mit ihrer Unterschrift, die dazugehörende Risikoerklärung zu unterschreiben.
Marktdaten Abonnemente spezifizieren die Börsen, von denen Sie Echtzeit Marktdaten erhalten möchten. Zahlreiche Börsen erheben auf den von ihnen gelieferten Daten Gebühren, welche IB direkt seinen Kunden, welche die Daten benötigen, weiterverrechnet. Zusätzlich bieten wir einen abonnierbaren Echtzeit News Service an, der für all diejenigen Non-Professional Kunden kostenlos ist, welche mehr als 30 USD (oder ein USD Equivalent) per Monat an Kommissionen und anderen Gebühren generieren.
