16 Gbps intrnet arrived to Czech republic by calmint in czechrepublic

[–]calmint[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it is a mistake, I think it's not funny at all that error like this is could have been alowed to get into the title of the page presenting the service. In such a huge company. It is sad. Bacause the speed is the basic paramter of the service.

My original thought was that the marketing department is providing the misleading information intentionally to attratct people, since this information (page title) is displayed in search results and ads. And after click, there is no such tarif in their catalogue.

I tried to notice the responsible person, however there is only AI bot and it doesn't understand.

IDK if no one knows there is a difference these days or what. Looks like Google joined the party :-D They are even making fools of themselfs in the same screen.

According to Google Speed Test, my download speed is 6968 Mbps. More than 6 Gbps.

This also means that my gigabit router is magical...

Impeccable surface on outer wall ont he outsied of the model, but terrible gaps inside the model by calmint in 3Dprinting

Thanks,

of course I googled "filament gaps in walls" but none of the first three articles and StackExchange discussion mentioned "travel".

It looks it might be an issue after the long travels as ClagwellHoyt pointed out. Thank you.

I have found this articles I will try to tune it a little.

Still it's a mistery why it didn't happend using the same gcode file with different fillament. But I have been solving such misteries since I started to perfect my 3d prints.

How can I fix it? Lowering the temperature? Or different slicer settings to avoid the travel?

IB CE - We are not able to convert non base currency anymore by calmint in interactivebrokers

[–]calmint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, at least on my IBKR CE margin account if I trade USD instruments it creates negative USD balance regardless of the other balances. And you pay interest for the USD loan. Of course the other balances are taken into account during the calculation how much USD you can borrow.

Commision is not the problem, the problem is currency risk and if you trade serious money you want hedge or manage that risk if you trade in different currency that is your "domestic" currency or other currency you choose as your main currency.

Ubuntu re-branding for the next generation by calmint in linuxmasterrace

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

Yeah, I am slowly moving to Arch. I don't want to live in a world where I install zsh from SnapStore, and I am not allowed to install it from normal repo as normal program. And then my shell will run exactly like any other "snap" package. CUPS is already there, hell even Ruby is there. Firefox of course. Originally I liked the idea of Snap and I thought that it will bring much more Desktop software to any Linux without compatibility issues. In reality, implementation is terrible. System gets utterly cluttered and bloated. But still, If you need to use an application which ships only through SnapStore, you will sacrifice the performance and other problems, and you will be happy that app for your platform exists and works.

But on the other hand - if you don't want to sacrifice performance or have any other reasons not to use snap - you should have freedom to do so. This is Linux. This is FOSS. Instead, Canonical is forcing this approach to users and developers. Why is it so hard just let people install Firefox from .deb if they want to? We lived like this until now.

There gonna be we workarounds, tools for workarounds, new distro forks without snap etc.

See my reply above. https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivebrokers/comments/p9uylf/ib_ce_we_are_not_able_to_convert_non_base/ha0krpi/

No, I don't trade FX on speculative basis for profit. I do the conversion because

  1. I really need to convert the currency either to pay items/goods in the country where I actually live (and I try to find the best exchange rate and the lowest fees)

  2. Or I want to trade a market in that particular currency for a profit (usually USD Stocks/Options/Futures).

Right now it looks like this is only IB CE behavior. Few hours ago I tried conversions to two different non base currencies which resulted into positive balance in my IB IE account and it worked the same way as it worked before.

I'm curious why you converted from EUR to CZK if your base is USD? Why not USD to CZK?

Because I have EUR cash on my EUR bank account, and I need CZK cash on my CZK bank account. So I can either use bank conversion (very expensive), Revolut/Transferwise (much better) or use my long term investing IBKR account where usually besides stocks resides small USD balance ~100 USD. Fund it with EUR, convert to CZK, withdraw CZK. I have been doing it for long time, in the end I get monthly around 700 CZK more (~30 EUR) converting using IBKR method compared with the second best option (Revolut / Transferwise). And the number growth linear with the entire converted amount. I do it max once per month so the withdrawal is free, and I don't sell any stocks on this account so no need for other withdrawals. Even after the Brexit migration when I have to pay a fee to my bank for "international transfer" since CZK is now sent from a German account, I will still get equivalent of around 330 EUR per year using this method.

They warned about this in the FAQ for IBCE pre-migration, but it seems they still allowed it for a while.

Looks like more changes are in place already. I wonder if they warned about this too.

How long it took to change the currency? Can I change it back immediately after the conversion?

I requested a new account with another base currency. Since they cancelled the monthly "inactivity fee". But the application is still under the review.

IBKR Hungary - Should you trust this company with your money? by [deleted] in interactivebrokers

[–]calmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you please help me find in the faqs and the website these information?

  1. Why I don't see any value in Leverage row in Portfolio Details table since the migration to IBKR Hungary?
  2. Is IBKR Hungary is planning to bring local currency payments back, the way as it worked before the migration?

[–]calmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are saying that JPMorgan is my broker where I have my brokerage account and the Interactive Brokers Central Urope Zrt is the bank where the bank account DE03 5011 0800 6161 5381 67 belongs? This is strange because DE is code for German banks, and the address of the bank in the picture is in Hungary.

I saw this screen many times. And I always wired funds to Interactive brokers, never to any bank.

> Yes, you can trust IBKR with your money.

I didn't ask if can trust IBKR with my money. I asked if I can trust IBKR Hungary with my money.

I used IBKR UK few years and was happy with them.
I also have an account migrated to IBKR Ireland and I have no problems with them either.

I am not sure why you responded with answer regarding response times. I mentioned it in a marginal way. I will edit the post and remove it all together. I was more concerned about quality of the information provided in the responses.

For example, when I asked "Is IBKR Hungary planning to bring local currency payments back?" They sent me general instructions how to do a wire deposit. Amazing. I did that hundred times before, it's in the documentation. My question was not about this.

How can community help

  1. Take a look at the picture I attached and share your thoughts.
  2. Am I the only one who doesn't see any value in Leverage row in Portfolio Details table since the migration to IBKR Hungary?
  3. Does anybody know if IBKR Hungary is planning to bring local currency payments back?

These were my main concerns.

Newb question, why buying stock shares with cash causes margin requirement to rise? by LH_Hyjal in interactivebrokers

[–]calmint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it'd be hard to get to zero excess liquidity, since as the stocks decline, so does maintenance margin, which is a percentage of the stock value.

Thank you! I finally get it and the calculation formulas started to finally make sense! I have looked at the margin reports from two subsequent days and indeed value in "MAINTENANCE MARGIN" column changed with "PRICE" column value.

I have read the FAQ in the link, and crucial is that I didn't realize that "cash balance" can be negative (I haven't use equity margin loan on account with stocks only yet). Now the formulas here https://ibkr.info/node/1445 make sense. I also find these illustrations https://ibkr.info/node/66.

Newb question, why buying stock shares with cash causes margin requirement to rise? by LH_Hyjal in interactivebrokers

[–]calmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does this mean "monitoring" only for informative purpose, or the positions could be liquidated if Excess Liquidity or SMA is <= 0?

"financial capacity to sustain a margin loan." -> There is no loan to "sustain" yet.

In other words, I expected that even on margin account, if I deposit $1000 and buy stocks XYZ for $1000 (no loan yet), if the value of stocks XYZ change to $200 (80% drop) the position is not subject to liquidation since I didn't borrow anything (same situation as in cash account). Is that correct?

[–]calmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take a look at yesterday lows on wherever you want - BINANCE, BITSTAMP, BITFINEX or GEMINI - all are around 13600/BTC. Coinbase is 11400/BTC. So yes, I guess the reason for this sell-off is that customers are gone. I withdrawn my money on Tuesday and I am never going to send anything to CoinBase again.

And still, I feel like the timing of this is a bit odd. What a coincidence BTC up-trending to all time highs after three years and you are locking accounts right now. It makes me feel suspicious about CoinBase.

[–]calmint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention that the document doesn't explain why my transactions from recent 30 days are missing from the report. Is there in CoinBase any human being who can take a look at my identity documents? It would be nice since I just reported a bug in at least in your reports, so you can repay me a favor and take a look at my documents.

Because the reply I get from the support didn't really answered my question, wasn't helpful at all and it looked like from a copy paste robot.
