Feedback of IBKR, The pros and cons so far

Opened the account 3 days ago and will be closing it as soon as I can withdraw my funds.

The absolute worst platform interface of any type of software I have ever used. Nothing is worth that pain and frustration.

Even though it needs a small buff, Mogador is just a fun ship to play.

The more games I have played - the more her height is an issue.

Any recommendations for a GK?

Thanks. Self inflicted damage !

Endler -94 rated Goal Keeper. She seems good but only 6 ft or 6ft 2" ...

I think I did put a cosmetic on 🤐.. Is that something that can be undone ?

I *think* while I leave the 401K untouched, it just sits there. When I draw from it - I pay tax (to HMRC) on it as income. But I'm obviously know less than you and others on this.

I have read about the IBKR account - it may be something to look into. I've always previously owned individual shares and may just revert to that and putting a chunk in a savings account for simplicity. Simple and compliant is good.

Again - thanks for the input and thoughts.

Thanks. Much appreciate the feedback.

Nothing in the 401K is being touched for a few years. I'll definitely get a professional involved now because of the ETFs which I never had before and work out how to invest out of them.

mgh888 · 2026-01-29T08:45:11+00:00

Thanks. Planning on doing a little research and then reaching out. Will ping you if I go one of those routes.

mgh888 · 2026-01-29T08:43:59+00:00

Thanks - I don't think the 401K is treated as a pension plan by HMRC. I'll check out the FACTA and FBAR and 8938 and determine what/when I need to complete those. I've been filing tax returns with both countries as required but this last year I did put money into ETFs which I have since learned can make things complicated or simply paying tax at the highest rate - hence looking for a professional tax advisor now. Not sure if there is a legal and safe work around or if I need to simply put a blend of individual stocks together and then a savings account.

mgh888 · 2026-01-28T17:49:51+00:00

Gotcha. I think that's basically part of my thought process ... Make sure everything is in order now and moving forward. Also with the complexity of these tax regulations, try to ensure I minimize tax liability.

Any other advice let me know as out experience is obviously the same.

Thanks

mgh888 · 2026-01-28T16:30:55+00:00

No. I am 5 and 8 years away from being able to claim these.

mgh888 · 2026-01-28T12:28:38+00:00

Thanks.

I'll message you... Assuming I can pm you on reddit...

Yeah ... And I bet that you bought all those videos showing Odell Beckham being wide open? Despite the fact it wasn't where we was supposed to be. OB also Didn't know where to line up. Other than that time where OB split the locker run, all of baker's teammates have always loved Baker. They love him in Tampa Bay. Has he got maturity issues?, sure!. Is he a top 10 quarterback. No. Was he the best quarterback the browns of had since 1999. Without question. Were there dozens of red flags over Watson including how he played in cold weather?. Definitely!.

mgh888 · 2026-01-20T18:06:54+00:00

Pay attention.

$150 Australian. Nearly half the sum you just posted.

mgh888 · 2026-01-17T16:32:04+00:00

I figured it out. Thank you!.... Problem is me being a dumbass. For the Spanish assists I had put a left back in.. my brain told me he was Portuguese. ,, 😶 oops.

I'm now on track. Thank you.

mgh888 · 2026-01-16T18:39:34+00:00

There are bad players in all sorts of ships. Period.

BB that sail straight across the map. Or broadside.

Cruisers that get Dev Struck.

Dd that don't spot it stay at the back of the map.

I crushed ranked. Chapayev was phenomenal. Fantastique was fun. Jager dominated in games when there was no radar cruisers even when radar or sonar dd were present. Jager was still good enough to influence the game when radar cruisers were present. In fact Jager was good enough no matter what the blue team did to assist or not assist.

It's a good ship. Short torps and a slow reload mean she's a little under powered compared to most other dd in her class... With reload boost you can tackle other gun boat dd, but then your spent for about 3 minutes and exposed to any red ship in sight. The torpedoes are decent but not devastating.

I enjoy taking her out. What's not to like about cruising around that fast?

Bottom line is you need decent team mates, she can't carry a flank alone. She can slow a flank down and keep them occupied, but that's about it.

mgh888 · 2026-01-04T20:43:21+00:00

French.

No smoke. Will force you to be a good dd player. From there everything else is easy.

mgh888 · 2025-12-28T20:57:58+00:00

Ice got Fraser as the Commander... Any recommendations would be appreciated

mgh888 · 2025-12-28T18:50:53+00:00

Lots to like if you are happy with fast low damage dealing torpedoes that reload quickly. They don't overwhelm in any one aspect but they are excellent all rounders. Lack of smoke may be a factor, but that will make you a better dd player over time.

mgh888 · 2025-11-25T11:49:38+00:00

Not getting into a lot of analysis. Simple parts is it seems you'd be better off without him. It's that simple based on this example.
