Hello Anonymous, thank you for reaching out. Please use this tool on our website to view available funding methods based on your residency and the currency you wish to deposit: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/support/fund-my-account.php
Good afternoon. If I enter a position at the opening of the day with a Limit Order, I used to send it (along with a Stop Loss Order) and pull the Limit Order line (along with the Stop Loss Order) with the mouse under the opening price right on the chart. Is it possible to do this in the new terminal now? Is it also possible to change the price and stop loss order proportionally depending on the limit order?
Hello Dmytro, thank you for asking. You can move a limit order on the IBKR Desktop charts by grabbing the buy (or sell) box, not the line. For your second question, please submit a web ticket. There is a category for “How to Use.” http://spr.ly/IBKR_CreateWebTicket
Is there a way I can put a market order with 1 click like ThinkOrSwim does?
And then flatten if necessary with another click.
As far as I see you have to click like 3 times to put an order, that would be disastrous if you are scalping
How do I set a bracket order?
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Bracket orders are designed to help limit your loss and lock in a profit by “bracketing” an order with two opposite-side orders. A BUY order is bracketed by a high-side sell limit order and a low-side sell stop order. A SELL order is bracketed by a high side buy stop order and a low side buy limit order. Please view this webpage for more information:

We hope this helps!
I know TWS Mosaic for Advanced order (Bracket order, OCO ) but how do we create those type orders in this new Desktop platform?
Another Question: Is there any setup to skip Order Review because it is needed/useful in day trading especially scalping.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. It is possible to create a Bracket Order in IBKR Desktop. After logging in, right click your desired security and click “Buy Order”. Click the attach orders button to add a Profit Taker and Stop Loss.
To view the other available order types in IBKR Desktop, please click the Stop button with the down arrow.

How can I specify the size of my order in USD rather than quantity?
Hello, thank you for reaching out. You can specify the size of your order in USD in the order ticket. After right-clicking your desired security and clicking “Buy Order”, you can switch between the “Shares” and “USD” buttons on the right-hand side. This allows you to specify the size of the order in USD. We hope this helps!
