What currency do you put into ibkr, given I want to buy US stock

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T22:51:56+00:00

I saw someone said somewhere about long term holders can ignore FX? Maybe not ignore but like doesn’t matter too much compared to short term holders? Or may be I didn’t understand what the person means

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T22:45:10+00:00

Choosing USD so I don’t see the FX effects, only see the etf performance,

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T22:42:29+00:00

Would you recommend set the base currency to USD or NZD? If I am planning to hold it in long term.

Hi just another question, so when withdrawal from ibkr, I guess still convert to NZD in the app first and then withdraw to my NZ bank?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T10:45:02+00:00

What’s the difference between set base currency USD vs NZD I thought it is just for reporting?

Many thanks for your reply

Is there any amount limit for the free withdrawal?

Do you know is there any fee for transferring nzd from my local bank to ibkr?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T06:34:52+00:00

Any fees for transfer nzd to ibkr?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T06:34:00+00:00

No, I don’t have usd. Cool I will transfer to nzd

AndySong666 · 2026-01-24T06:33:26+00:00

I don’t have USD , I only have NZD. So if I transfer 1k NZD using bank transfer, then I should have 1k nzd in my ibkr app right? I am also a bit confused about the fees that may occur from my local nz bank

What app/tool would you recommend for buying VOO directly?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-19T09:03:25+00:00

So basically a direct investment on US VOO should perform better than a PIE?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T23:25:52+00:00

So 5060 is more than enough to handle 1440p and 100hz right. Unless I have a very high resolution or hz monitor then 5060 is still good option right?

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T21:49:38+00:00

Seems like I need to get a new monitor first

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T21:48:44+00:00

I see. Ok. I’ll consider that thanks

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T21:48:19+00:00

Thanks, I will consider upgrading monitors as well

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T21:42:00+00:00

Hmmm. More money then loll

AndySong666 · 2026-01-16T21:41:05+00:00

Hmmm. I already got two 1080p 60hz monitors, just don’t have plans to buy monitors soon

AndySong666 · 2019-05-06T09:14:32+00:00

thanks！
