[amibroker] Re: Trading International Portfolios

Hi all,

I trade international markets via IB and other brokers. When you open 
an account you apply and receive access to EXCHANGES and PRODUCTS - not 
countries. So when you apply for an exchange you might receive access 
whilst your friend won`t be granted access - if he is of different 
nationality/domicile: Citizens of some countries are restricted by 
their national regulations (namely US citizens by SEC). Otherwise - if 
your selected markets/products comply with your indicated experience 
you will be setup for trading within minutes.
 
Re your questions:

) What are the pitfalls and drawbacks of trading a portfolio consisting 
of 3-5 markets (ASX,SGX,US,CA,EUR,... )?

None aside from my mental capacity to differentiate between positions 
in USD, CAD, AUD........

2) How to set up the account(s) with IB, for example can foreign stocks 
be traded with US funds (auto conversion)?

I am debited with local currency and can adjust this manually whenever 
I like. 

3) Is there a problem with the different market time-zones? For 
example, for a foreign stock, would MOO and MOC be automatically adjust 
to the foreign market's open/closing time?

No problems, if MOO and MOC is supported for this exchange/product.

Trading via IB is a dream come true, if you take the time and effort to 
read, learn and practise the TWS. Amongst brokers IB is exactly what 
Amibroker is amongst software. And a bit alike amibroker.... NO 
Handholding for Newbies there! But helpful forum and webinars.

Kind regards
