  • Standard orders submitted through IdealPro are subject to minimum and maximum size restrictions. Customers who wish to submit orders in quantities greater than the standard order maximums can request to gain access to IBKR’s Large–Size Order Facility. In addition to allowing submission of FX orders greater than the stated limits, the Large–Size Order Facility allows customers to RFQ (Request for Quote) for an FX pair specific to the order quantity entered. Please contact Client Services or your IBKR Sales Representative to see if you qualify for the Large–Size Order Facility.

  • Additional information about your retail Forex transactions is available in Account Management (see KB2878), including information required under NFA Rule 2-36(o) about retail Forex trades in the same currency pair as any retail leveraged Forex transaction you executed in your IBKR account.
