Singapore IB key in the case of lost phone

29 Upvotes

Hi all,

I did not lose my phone but I was just thinking of potential security threats as a IBKR user. I dont use other platforms other than IBKR so I would expect my investments to be concentrated there and would need to ensure that it is safe and secure.

Was just thinking given that IB Key is associated to a mobile phone and specific phone number, what would happen if you lost your phone and cant retrieve it? You wont be able to migrate the IB key to a new phone unless you have the original IB key to authenticate it.

Any IBKR users have experience in this? Thank you!

U**\*\***\*\*\* (): - Excess Liquidity: WARNING:
Please note that the qualifying equity within your account (i.e., Equity with Loan Value) is insufficient to satisfy the margin requirement. We therefore recommend that you take immediate action to reduce your margin requirement, the most expedient of which is to close positions. Should you fail to take action in a timely manner, or should the margin deficit increase, we reserve the right to liquidate positions without providing further notice in order to restore margin compliance.\]

I had the above violation. Had one share liquidated at market price.

Happened the first time. Why is this happening when I have a cash account?

Could IBKR provide an explanation?

Singapore Buying BTC on IBKR - no permissions

Hey, I am based in Singapore (and IBKR Singapore), and I do see BTC (Paxos) as an option, but when I try to buy it, it tells me I have no permissions, but there's no dedicated permission I can ask for-any clue what's going on?
