IB предлагает торговые площадки и платформы, предназначенные для трейдеров, специализирующихся на Форекс-торговле, а также для тех, кто осуществляет сделки с мультивалютными акциями и/или деривативами. В статье описаны основы создания валютного ордера в TWS и особенности котировок и (послеторговой) отчетности по позициям.
Валютная (или FX) сделка заключается в одновременной покупке одной валюты и продаже другой, сочетание которых называется "валютной парой". Ниже приводится пример с валютной парой EUR.USD, где первая валюта (EUR) называется валютой транзакции, которую трейдер хочет купить или продать, а вторая (USD) – валютой расчета.
Валютная пара – это курс цены валютной единицы относительно другой валютной единицы на рынке иностранных валют. Валюта, используемая в качестве ориентира, называется котируемой валютой, а валюта, измеряемая в котируемой валюте, называется базовой. В TWS мы предлагаем один тикер на каждую валютную пару. В FXTrader также можно поменять направление конвертации. Трейдеры покупают или продают базовую валюту и продают или покупают котируемую валюту. Например, у валютной пары EUR/USD следующий тикер:
EUR.USD
где:
Цена этой валютной пары выражает, сколько единиц USD (котируемой валюты) требуется для покупки одной единицы EUR (базовой валюты). Другими словами, это цена 1 EUR, выраженная в USD.
Ордер покупки для пары EUR.USD позволит купить EUR и продать эквивалентную сумму в USD исходя из цены сделки.
Примечания:
Площадка IDEALFX предоставляет прямой доступ к межбанковским валютным котировкам для ордеров, которые превышают минимальный размер, установленный IDEALFX (как правило, 25 000 USD). Направленные в IDEALFX ордера, не отвечающие данному требованию, будут автоматически перенаправлены для конвертации на площадку мелких ордеров. Узнать о требованиях к минимальному и максимальному размеру на IDEALFX можно ЗДЕСЬ.
Валютные дилеры котируют валютные пары в определенном направлении. Поэтому, чтобы найти нужную валютную пару, возможно, необходимо изменить символ валюты в ордере. Например, если используется символ CAD, в окне выбора контракта не будет доступна валюта расчета USD. Это связано с тем, что пара котируется как USD.CAD, и ее можно найти только указав символ андерлаинга "USD" и затем выбрав "Форекс".
В зависимости от отображаемых заголовков, валютные пары будут показаны следующим образом:
В столбцах "Контракт" и "Описание" валютная пара будет отображаться в формате "валюта транзакции.валюта расчета" (пример: EUR.USD). В столбце "Андерлаинг" отображается только валюта транзакции.
Иннструкция о том, как изменить заголовки столбцов, доступна ЗДЕСЬ.
1. Для ввода ордера щелкните левой кнопкой мыши по биду (чтобы продать) или аску (чтобы купить).
2. Укажите сумму валюты, которую Вы хотите продать или купить. Размер ордера выражен в базовой валюте, т.е. в первой валюте в паре в TWS.
Interactive Brokers не признает контракты, выраженные фиксированной суммой базовой валюты в иностранной валюте; размер сделки – это требуемая сумма в базовой валюте.
Например, ордер на покупку 100 000 EUR.USD означает покупку 100 000 EUR и продажу USD на эквивалентную сумму по указанному обменному курсу.
3. Укажите желаемый тип ордера, обменный курс (цену) и отправьте ордер.
Примечание. Ордера могут быть выражены в целых единицах любой валюты и не имеют ограничений по размеру или лоту, кроме установленных торговой площадкой (см. выше).
Как ввести ордер с помощью FX Trader?
Пипc (базовый пункт) – это мера изменения в валютной паре, которая, как правило, обозначает наименьший шаг изменения, хотя в некоторых случаях допускаются дробные пипсы.
Например, 1 пипс в паре EUR.USD равен 0.0001, а в паре USD.JPY – 0.01.
Рассчитать значение 1 пипса в единицах котируемой валюты можно по следующей формуле:
(условная сумма) * (1 пипс)
Примеры:
1 пипс = 100 000 * 0.0001= 10 USD
1 пипс = 100 000 * (0.01)= 1000 JPY
Рассчитать значение 1 пипса в единицах базовой валюты можно по следующей формуле:
(условная сумма) * (1 пипс/обменный курс)
Примеры:
1 пипс = 100 000 * (0.0001/1.3884)= 7.20 EUR
1 пипс = 100 000 * (0.01/101.63)= 9.84 USD
Информация об FX-позиции – это важный аспект торговли в IB, который необходимо изучить до выполнения сделок на счете. Валютные позиции указаны в торговых программах IB в двух местах, доступных в окне счета.
В разделе "Рыночная стоимость" в окне "Счет" отображаются валютные позиции в реальном времени, указанные в виде отдельной валюты (а не валютной пары).
Информация о валютных позициях в реальном времени доступна только в разделе "Рыночная стоимость" в окне "Счет". Если на счете есть несколько валютных позиций, то для их закрытия необязательно использовать ту же валютную пару, которая использовалась для открытия позиции. Например, трейдер, купивший пару EUR.USD (купил EUR и продал USD) и пару USD.JPY (купил USD и продал JPY), может закрыть получившуюся позицию сделкой с парой EUR.JPY (покупка EUR и продажа JPY).
Примечания:
Раздел "Рыночная стоимость" можно свернуть/развернуть. Убедитесь, что над столбцом с чистой ликвидационной стоимостью отображается знак минуса зеленого цвета. Если над столбцом отображается знак плюса, то часть позиций может быть скрыта.
Создать транзакцию для закрытия можно в разделе "Рыночная стоимость", щелкнув правой кнопкой мыши по валюте, позицию с которой Вы хотите закрыть, и выбрав "Ликвидировать валютный остаток" или "Ликвидировать все остатки в небазовой валюте".
Раздел "FX-портфель" дает представление о виртуальных позициях и отображает сведения о позиции в виде валютных пар (а не отдельных валют как в разделе "Рыночная стоимость"). Такой формат предназначен для институциональных валютных трейдеров и, как правило, не требуется розничным и нерегулярным трейдерам. Размеры позиций в FX-портфеле не учитывают всю валютную активность, тем не менее, трейдеры могут менять размер позиций и среднюю стоимость, отображаемые в разделе. Способность управления размером позиций и средней стоимостью без совершения сделки будет полезна трейдерам, торгующим валютой и продуктами в небазовой валюте, и позволит им вручную отделять автоматическую конвертацию (которая происходит при торговле продуктами в небазовой валюте) от чисто валютной торговли.
На вкладке "FX-портфель" собрана информация о валютных позициях и потерях и убытках, отображаемая в остальных торговых окнах. В связи с этим может возникнуть вопрос о том, где найти данные по позициям в реальном времени. Чтобы найти нужную информацию, Вы можете сделать следующее:
Сверните окно FX-портфеля, нажав на стрелочку слева от слова "FX-портфель". Теперь информация о виртуальных позициях не будет показываться на всех торговых страницах. (Примечание. В результате перестанут отображаться сведения FX-портфеля, но сведения раздела "Рыночной стоимость" не появятся).
Вы можете скорректировать позицию или среднюю цену, щелкнув правой кнопкой мыши во вкладке FX-портфеля в окне "Счет". После закрытия всех позиций в небазовой валюте и убедившись, что они отмечены как закрытые в разделе "Рыночная стоимость", трейдеры могут сбросить поля "Позиция" и "Средняя цена" до 0. Размер позиции в FX-портфеле будет обновлен, и в торговых окнах будет отображаться более точная информация о позициях и прибыли и убытках. (Примечание: сброс не производится автоматически; его необходимо делать вручную после каждой ликвидации валютных позиций). Всегда проверяйте данные позиции в разделе "Рыночная стоимость", чтобы убедиться, что передаваемые ордера приведут к желаемому результату при открытии или закрытии позиции.
Перед выполнением транзакций на торговом счете мы рекомендуем ознакомиться с форекс-торговлей на тренировочном или ДЕМО-счете. Если у Вас остались вопросы, обратитесь в службу поддержки IB.

IRA owners may be required to to withdraw funds beginning at age 73, and every year thereafter. Determining your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is significant while retaining an IRA, considering both your life expectancy and the IRA's fair market value.
The required amount for each eligible person is based on the December 31 IRA account value of the previous year and the IRA owners date of birth. Your spouse's date of birth may also be a factor if your spouse is at least 10 years younger than you. Interactive Brokers LLC provides several information resources to understand and calculate your RMD, including access to the online FINRA RMD Calculator.
Requesting Your RMD Withdrawal
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires the IRA plan custodian to notify IRA owners about the RMD requirements by January 31 each year. If you turn 73 this year, you are required to begin taking RMDs before April 1 of the following year.
Eligible IRA owners must begin receiving withdrawals by December 31 of the year they reach age 73. The first RMD withdrawal, however, may be delayed until April 1 of the following year.
If you elect to delay the withdrawal, then please observe the following considerations:
(1) Two RMD withdrawals will be required the following year, the undistributed initial RMD and the new RMD.
(2) The new RMD will be slightly larger due to the December 31 market value's inclusion of the undistributed initial RMD.
Subsequent RMD withdrawals from your IRA must be distributed by December 31 to avoid a penalty tax.
Note: Roth IRAs are exempt from the RMD rules during the IRA owner's lifetime.
Requesting Your RMD Withdrawal
You may request a withdrawal of funds through the Transfer & Pay and then Transfer Funds menu options within Client Portal. The IRS deadline for taking RMDs is December 31 each year. Keep in mind that the year end withdrawal cut off for processing withdrawals from your Interactive Brokers account may occur before December 31.
Please note that you can elect to transfer your funds to your bank account or to an Interactive Brokers non-IRA account. To transfer funds to an Interactive Brokers non-IRA account, log into Client Portal, select Transfer & Pay, Transfer Funds then select Transfer Funds Between Accounts.
Your RMD is determined by dividing the account balance on December 31 of last year by your life expectancy factor. Your life expectancy factor is taken from the Life Expectancy Tables contained in IRS Publication 590. Your IRA beneficiary election may play an important role in determining your RMD, as well.
You must calculate your RMD separately for each qualifying IRA custodied at Interactive Brokers and any other financial institution. The RMD, however, may be satisfied from any single one or combination of your IRAs. The IRA Required Minimum Distribution Worksheets may provide additional assistance with the calculation of your RMD.

This information is for general educational purposes only. Individuals should consult with their financial adviser or legal counsel to determine how rollover regulations affect their unique situations.
Generally, an IRA rollover is a tax-free distribution to you of cash or other assets from one retirement plan that you contribute to another retirement plan. The contribution to the second retirement plan is called a rollover contribution.
This article outlines the types of IRA rollover transactions, rules and conditions, IB's Rollover Certification form, and rollover transaction details. Select from list below for details:
Eligible Rollover Transactions
Prior to completing an IRA Rollover transaction, we recommend that you review the rules and conditions surrounding eligibility. Interactive Brokers can accept as a tax-free transaction an eligible rollover distribution as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Included in this article is information about eligible transactions, as well as the Interactive Brokers IRA Rollover Certification form.
Before accepting an IRA rollover transaction into an Interactive Brokers LLC IRA, we require that you review your eligibility for the rollover and certify your understanding of the rollover rules and conditions. The IRA Rollover Form includes the IRA Rollover Certification.
The Transfer Funds page within the Client Portal lets you notify IB of an IRA Rollover deposit of funds into your account. From the Transfer & Pay menu select Transfer Funds and then Make a Deposit. Select one of the saved deposit instructions and follow the prompts on the screen or create a new deposit instruction by selecting the Currency of the deposit from the drop-down menu. Click Connect or Get Instructions for the method you will use to transfer funds. And finally follow the remaining instructions provided to initiate the transfer with your bank.
Two types of IRA rollover transactions exist with different guidelines and delivery methods:
(Note: A distributions directly from one IRA trustee to another IRA trustee is a Trustee-to-Trustee transfer. It is not affected by the twelve-month waiting period.)
For additional information about rollovers, visit Understanding Rollovers. See also IRS Publication 590-A, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) for more specific guidelines on moving retirement plan assets.
Almost any distribution from a qualified plan can be rolled over to an IRA. Your retirement account may be eligible for one of the following eligible rollover transactions.
Traditional IRA or SIMPLE IRA to Traditional IRA Rollover
Roth IRA to Roth IRA Rollover
Rollover or Direct Rollover from Qualified Plan into a Traditional IRA
Roth IRA to Roth IRA Rollover
Some funds distributed from a retirement plan are not eligible for rollover into an IRA. The following transactions are not eligible rollover transactions.

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?
An otherwise taxable distribution from an eligible IRA owned by an individual 72 or older paid to an IRS qualified charity.
How to determine if a charity can receive the QCD?
The IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check allows users to "Search for Charities" among a list of organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions.
Where can an IRA owner find additional information on QCDs?
Visit Charitable Donations for IRAs for additional information on qualified charitable distributions. See also IRS Publication 590-b.
Can IBKR customers submit a QCD withdrawal online?
What amount may be withdrawn? Why?
IBKR will process the withdrawal for any amount, as long as the account has sufficient available funds. Why? Although the QCD donations to the charity must not exceed $100,000 per year to retain QCD status, charitable gifts may exceed this limit.
Where are the funds disbursed?
Funds are made payable to the IRS qualified charity and mailed direct to the charity. Only funds disbursed to the charity can be designated from your IRA as a QCD.
Does the distribution count towards the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) amount?
Yes
Is the Charitable Distribution allowed from all IRAs held at IBKR?
No, see the list below. IRA owners should contact a qualified tax advisor about how to preserve QCD tax benefits. Not all distributions are created equal. A tax advisor will be able to assess an IRA owner’s best choice.
Traditional IRA > YES
Rollover IRA > YES
Roth IRA > YES
Inherited IRA > YES, if the beneficiary is at least age 70 1/2
SEP IRA > NO
Education IRA > NO
Are the Charitable Distributions allowed from other IRA and retirement plans not held at IBKR?
No, not directly. Retirement plans, employer sponsored SEP IRAs, and Simple IRAs (account classifications not held at IBKR) are not eligible for a QCD election. IRA owners may be eligible to rollover assets from these plans into a traditional, rollover, or Roth IRA to request a charitable distribution. IRA owners should contact a qualified tax advisor or their retirement plan administrator.
How is the QCD reported to the IRS?
IBKR will report the charitable distributions on Form 1099-R when issued. See Reports and Dates for 1099 availability dates.
Can any taxes be withheld from the distribution?
No.
Do federal taxes have to be paid on the distribution?
Generally, federal taxes are not paid with QCDs. But distributions in excess of the IRS limit may be subject to income tax. IBKR recommends that customers contact a qualified tax advisor.
Does a state or municipal tax have to be paid on the distribution?
Contact your tax advisor or local tax authority on state and municipal requirements for the distributed amount.

Understanding the basic facts about transferring accounts between US brokerage firms can be help to avoid delays. Through this article and other Knowledge Database resources, Interactive Brokers seeks to assist with your incoming and outgoing ACATS requests.
US brokerage firms utilize a standardized system to transfer customer accounts from one firm to another. Known as the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service or ACATS, the process allows assets to move seamlessly between brokerage firms in a unified time frame. ACATS transfers are facilitated by a third party, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), to assist participating members with timely asset transfers.
The majority of assets may be transferred between US brokerage firms and some banks through ACATS. This standardized system includes stocks, US corporate bonds, listed options, unit investment trusts, mutual funds, and cash. Information on assets eligible for transfer is provided at "Assets Eligible..." Though impacted by multiple factors and time constraints, the accepted or rejected transfers finalize within 10 business days in most cases.
4 simple steps of the ACATS process will help you understand the flow and minimize delays. Familiarizing yourself with the transfer process helps to ensure a successful transition.
The financial institution that is receiving your assets and account transfer is known as the "receiving firm." Investors always work with and through the "receiving firm" to move full or partial account assets into a new broker.
Contact the "receiving firm" (Interactive Brokers) to review the firm's trading policies and requirements. You should verify that your assets are eligible for trading at the "receiving firm" before initiating the transfer request. Not all ACATS transferable assets are acceptable for trading at every brokerage firm.
All outgoing ACATS transfers, full or partial, must be approved by the "delivering firm." Investors, however, should work with and through the "receiving firm" in order to begin the the transfer process or to status the progress of the request.
Investors must always begin the ACATS transfer with the "receiving firm." An ACATS transfer form or Transfer Initiation Form (TIF) must be submitted. The "receiving firm" takes your reqeust and communicates with the "delivering firm" via ACATS. The process begins with this request for transfer of the account.
For your Interactive Brokers Account, the transfer is usually submitted online. Video instruction on submitting the transfer is provided at "How to deposit funds via a full ACATS/ATON Transfer." or through Step-by-step instructions.
Note: Outgoing account transfers from your IB account should be directed to the other broker. Your request will be submitted to IB from the other broker through the ACATS electronically.
Brokers ensure the safety and security of transfer requests by only authorizing requests between open accounts that meet the following criteria:
Ultimately responsible for validating the transfer, the "delivering firm" may accept information from the "receiving firm" correcting data originally entered. Approved or validated requests result in the delivery of positions to the "receiving firm" for their acceptance. Assets may not be accepted by the "receiving firm" for the following:
Note: The most common reasons for ACATS rejections are outlined by clicking here.
The processing time for each transfer request is fixed. In general, approved transfers complete within 4 to 8 business days. Almost all transfers complete within 10 business days. Each firm is required to perform certain steps at specific intervals in the process. Feel free to review the Full ACATS transfer process flow.
While Interactive Brokers does not charge a fee to transfer your account via ACATS, some brokers do apply a fee for full and partial transfers. Prior to initiating your transfer, you should contact the "delivering firm" to verify any charge.
Interactive Brokers Customer Service stands poised to assist with your incoming ACATS transfer reqeust. Click here for Customer Service contact resources.
Note: Outgoing or ACATS transfers sending accounts to another broker should be directed to the "receiving firm." Their Account Transfer Group will work with Interactive Brokers directly to complete your outgoing request.
The Interactive Brokers Year End Reports provide an activity review for US persons and US entities. The various account statements provide the transaction details as the basis for each report. Each of the standard reports spans the time period from January 1 through December 31.
Some reports, such as the Gain/Loss Summary Worksheet, may consolidate transactions and calculations. For the sake of conserving volume, trade activity may be combined. The account statements include all activity. For your convenience and to assist with your reconcilation, customized statements permit activity displays suitable for your personal needs (see the tab "Customized Templates" for details).
All US tax reports include the total figures as required under the US tax laws.
Non-US Persons and Entities
Income paid from US sources to non-US persons and entities may find this comparison helpful. IB is required to withhold US taxes at a rate of 30% on payments of US source stock dividends and substitute payments in lieu. Both the withholding and the income is reported on the US tax Form 1042-S.
For additional information about how IB handles non-US persons and entities, select this Tax Information and Reporting link and choose the tab Non-US Persons and Entities.

Yes. You can contribute to a Roth IRA or Traditional IRA regardless of whether or not you have an employer-sponsored plan. While participation in a retirement plan does not change how much you can contribute to an IRA, it can affect whether or not you are eligible to deduct your Traditional IRA contributions on your tax return.
