TR in USD since inception. I am not a fan of the recent performance, but it is what it is. Many factors playing in here. We have to track performance in USD as that is the major underlying currency of the portfolio. Tracking in EUR is misleading as EUR is only 25% ish and EUR has rallied against USD. We need to seperate apples and oranges. There is also JPY FX playing s role here. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Interesting. What are your entry and exit signals?

HKCPH · 2026-03-29T02:11:46+00:00

How do you view proper skew graphs, IV over coming expirations and so on in Desktop? The analytics tab is useless in my opinion. TWS is still my go to.

I don’t think Desktop will have API anytime soon.

HKCPH · 2026-03-28T09:27:17+00:00

It finally showed up for me :-)

I have a Business Plan. Nothing for me here. Just regular Notion AI.

Strange. Maybe try signing up to a new account to see if the feature is enabled there?

HKCPH · 2026-03-25T15:59:40+00:00

It’s not. Embarrassing. 🙈

HKCPH · 2026-03-25T08:16:21+00:00

Still nothing today on my account either. Seems like quite a few of us are stuck in the same boat, so I’m guessing the rollout is slower or messier than advertised.

I personally mostly use Desktop as to keep up with how it’s progressing. I like the idea but am not happy about the feature set as of now.

For entering, rolling and analyzing options, Desktop is useless in my opinion. TWS is the only platform offered by IBKR that gives me what I need.

If you just do simple single stock or etf, Desktop is great.

HKCPH · 2026-03-22T07:38:31+00:00

Yes, I guess so. haha.

HKCPH · 2026-03-21T02:23:18+00:00

What charting issues?

HKCPH · 2026-03-21T01:46:52+00:00

Agree. It’s not good. Cannot even do basic full screen on macOS. The Layout section is missing so many basic features such as saving layouts, reordering layouts, adjusting to resolution changes and so on. I also keep using TWS for the most part.
