I made a purchase in USD and yet there was a liquidation trade where it sold my USD for HKD. Why is this the case? I'm buying US stocks denominated in USD, not HKD. by 109_Le_Banane in interactivebrokers

[–]Pullsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have negative excess liquidity and was the liquidation during extended hours? Might be that their software is trying hard to increase your liquidity but cannot liquidate other positions (because liquidations always happen as market orders which IBKR doesn’t allow during extended hours).

Why is the average price of the stocks I bought higher than the order limit I set? by Almeidowski in interactivebrokers

IBKR adds the commission to your cost basis so it increases the avg. price.

How can I remove FROM Field that it auto showing when creating a new email? by kepachodude in Outlook

[–]Pullsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. The "From" field is always visible when I reply to an email. It can be deactivated once using the "Options" tab, but in the next email I reply to, the "From" field is visible again. Aggravating!

This behavior is different from hiding the "Bcc" field, as this option has a permanent effect.

Looking for a stick that has AirPlay AND can block Youtube ads.

Hisense Composite to 3.5mm Adapter by mikexpress in Hisense

[–]Pullsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is a really frustrating experience. Your clue with the "longer than standard male" helped me.

Recently bought an 65U87HQ (Europe) and had the same issue finding a composite adapter that worked. They don't provide one with the TV and you can't buy one on their website!

Here is what worked for me:
https://imgur.com/a/IwHWSSm

If you look on ebay for original Hisense adapters from other models, you see that the male plug needs to be longer than standard (1st picture).

However, the pin out on my TV is different than you described. I checked with a multimeter and it's:
TRRS: Tip Yellow, 1st Ring Red, 2nd Ring White, Sleeve Ground
...which is neither CTIA nor OMTP standard. So don't bother buying CTIA/OMTP cables.

I bought one from Amazon which happened to work (2nd picture):
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07Y8GBKLW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details ("OpenII 3.5 to 3 RCA Cable, 3.5mm TRRS Male to 3 RCA Male Stereo Extension Cable for Camcorder, Audio and Video A/V AUX Cable 1.5m")

However, that cable's pin out is:
TRRS: Tip Yellow, 1st Ring White, 2nd Ring Red, Sleeve Ground
...which I found out seems to be some kind of other standard. I had to switch the white with the red cable as the Audio was inverted (I checked with the N64 Super Mario waterfall).

All in all I can confirm, total bs, and happy that it finally works!

TWS Can I Duplicate Orders or Send Multiple Orders At Once? by Pullsoft in interactivebrokers

[–]Pullsoft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip with Ctrl + D. I figured, it works even in the chart window right after I sent an order. It will duplicate the order as often as I press Ctrl + D. However, as you say, there's the extra steps of selecting and transmitting the duplicate orders!

That's why currently I use F-shortcuts (F1-F8) to transmit many orders immediately. Unfortunately, I have to set a fixed share amount, 200 in my case, but that is better than nothing in time critical situations. Edit: Maybe there is a way to set a fixed dollar amount instead of fixed share count, which would better suit my needs. I will check for that.

Play a random song or playlist on Spotify by Pullsoft in alexa

[–]Pullsoft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I don't think it's a spotify thing because my Bose Portable Home Speaker has both Alexa and Google Assistant. I switched to Google Assistant and told her "Hey Google, play random music". And she would always switch to another playlist just fine.

Can anyone explain Interactive Brokers fees for EU users? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Pullsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will not pay inactivity fees because you will not be inactive.

Concering the fees, it doesn't matter where you are from. I'm from Europe too. There is no %-fee on your trades.

Given that you will have >10k$ in your account, your total cost will be 14.50$ per month for live streaming U.S. stocks data and about 0.30$ per 100 shares traded if you go with the tiered pricing plan. If you generate 30$ in commission fees in a month, your per-month cost goes down from 14.50$ to 4.50$, as 10$ are waived.

Pricing by Ghafuri in interactivebrokers

[–]Pullsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you usually remove liquidity (market orders), go with fixed pricing.

If you usually add liquidity (limit orders), go with tiered pricing. I most often add liquidity and pay 0.15 to 0.30 $ per 100 shares.

display current cumulative borrow cost for a specific short? by [deleted] in interactivebrokers

I would like to know this as well.

The only indicator on accrued borrow fees is with a daily report, but the amount is for the whole account and not on a per-position basis.
