4-15-20 AIS 0800, 7 hours, 7/10 PAT: Over-trading, Allow myself a early trade only if it is planned PM Ill mark up the charts later tonight. BAC PB#1 JBLU PB#3 ROKU PB#3 Cons: I should know better than to trade ORBs, they are not my thing Pros: knew I needed to step away after the mistake in JBLU. Came back to ROKU (which is a foe of mine lol) with a clear head and made back most of my loss Rs: -0.5

Wednesday 04/15/2020 I had a well-being score of 6.5/10 this morning. I took 1 live trade with AMD. My watchlist: BAC, APA, DAL, TSLA, CCL, and AMD. No obvious setup from PM. AMD and BAC were heading lower into the open so I was keeping an eye on both of them. I almost took a 1min ORBD on AMD when it broke the LOPM and again at the break of the 1min candle body. But couldn’t figure SPY out so held off. Then AMD reversed and made an 1min engulfing. But there were a few MAs and VWAP above the price. I went long on the break of VWAP but with half shares because there was a strong PM level at $54. When it broke $54 I added heavily so I was 1.5X normal share size on the trade. My target was the 200MA-5min and my stop was the 50MA-1min. The price did actually reach my target. I did take quite a few partials but using smaller % size each partial than I usually do. What did I do good today? Watch the SPY chart well without losing focus on my trade. What I am grateful from today? Finishing my day before the markets got really choppy.

If it's like other brokers you need to quote the withdrawal amount in the currency of the broker account, otherwise this happens. My (Singapore) bank is very competitive on Exchange rates and has zero charges for conversions from to USD but many are not, you can always use something like a Transferwise account which is much cheaper than most banks to transfer between USD and your home currency.

That sucks about the confusion around the conversion. While I've found their customer service to be good, I can agree that their chat system is atrocious and extremely buggy Hope you get your money soon!

Good news, I fanally solved my problem. Since IB where busy with the Covid-19, it took me 3 weeks in total to make all arrangements and have my USD account working. First, I took out my CAD $ from my IB account. I've then opened a USD account over the Internet with my current Royal Bank of CANADA but it did not work. They could not make a USD transfer to a Canadian provider since it was going to convert my USD deposit to CAD and I could not link this account to IB. They had to transfer me to another department for USD account with RBC in USA. I then checked with Bank of Montreal where I have another account ond opened a USD account. Took me 2 minutes over the Internet. I then linked my account directly with IB. After the verification, I was able to make a deposit in US to my account. Now, everything is working perfectly, I don't loose even 1$ from my gains. Hope this topic could help someone.

Yea, they must have.
