After I deposited a small amount (10 euros) the account started to show correctly again the buying power, which is now about 6.6x.

Hi Stavros,

I am trying to open an account with IB, I am trading from the UK and having trouble with the application. Did you manage to finish the Interactive Brokers application in the end? Also, I keep getting a message saying 'your net worth cannot be larger than Total assets'. I haven't written anything about my total assets, so I am not sure what I am entering incorrectly?? If anyone has had this issue any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Dexter

as i see the problem is that you say that you make 35-50k each year but your net worth is lower. that's not logical I mean the net worth is all the real estate you may have the investments etc. those logically can not be lower than your annual income

so my account has been migrated from IBUK to IBIE and the PDT limits are gone. I will test it later today and post. Anyway my buying power is twice the size i had in IBUK too.

Be aware that the protections of your account is also very lower. only 20k is protected. it was 500k in IBUK.

 

edit: so no PDT for EU citizens. yay!

The 20K protection is in $ or € ?
