Disclosures

There is a substantial risk of loss in foreign exchange trading. The settlement date of foreign exchange trades can vary due to time zone differences and bank holidays. When trading across foreign exchange markets, this may necessitate borrowing funds to settle foreign exchange trades. The interest rate on borrowed funds must be considered when computing the cost of trades across multiple markets.

Currencies available for trading vary by Interactive Brokers affiliate.

  1. It is not possible to directly trade or fund your account with these currencies. When you trade an instrument denoted in these currencies, IBKR will auto-convert the currency in question to facilitate the execution of the trade.
  2. Please contact Client Services or your IBKR Sales Representative to see if you qualify for the Large-Size Order Facility (generally orders over 7M USD or equivalent).
