NEW TOOLS

Create Stock Orders Using Cash Quantity

If you prefer to purchase a specific cash amount of a company rather than a certain number of shares, you can now submit stock orders using Cash Quantity. Instead of buying 300 shares of IBKR, you can now enter a cash amount (e.g., USD 5,000) for the quantity. We calculate the number of shares this cash value could buy right now and show you this value under the Cash Quantity. But instead of using this share quantity as the order size (where the cash value might change if the order price goes up or down) we use the cash value as the order size and let the number of shares change if the order price goes up or down. This helps to ensure you end up transacting as close to your original cash quantity amount as possible.

Cash Quantity supports most stock order types, is currently available on Trader Workstation (TWS) and is coming soon to IBKR Mobile and Client Portal.

Interactive Advisors Rolls Out Global X Portfolios
