      IBKR Accounts

      In this article, we are going to review the IBKR account types that Darwinex offers to its traders and investors.

       

      Interactive Brokers (IBKR) account types

      Darwinex currently offers 3 types of IBKR accounts:

      Please note it is not possible to change the type of account once selected. We are working to enable changing from classic accounts to DARWIN accounts in the future.

      Classic Account

      The Classic Account is the ideal solution for those traders who do not plan to manage investor capital.

      Otherwise, we invite you to consult both DARWIN Accounts.

      Assets available

      All assets available at IBKR will be available in this type of account. However, our system is not able to show an analysis in this case.

      Coming soon...

      We plan to develop our system so that the assets available in DARWIN Accounts will be taken into account for analysis purposes.

      You may open a Classic Account from here.

      This type of account will be available soon.

      Assets available

      More than 60 futures that you may consult here, all US stocks &ETFs currently offered in CFD format for trading on the MT4 / MT5 account*.

      In the case of US stocks & ETFs, this type of account only allows long positions.

      You may check the full list of our US stocks & ETFs CFDs here.

      * Darwinex intends to increase the current list of assets by incorporating more stocks from the US and the European market.

      This type of account is intended for traders who want to trade stocks/ETFs only long and without day-trading. The replica on stocks/ETFs positions for DARWIN investors would be executed in cash stocks (unlike long/short account where the replica would be placed in CFD instruments). Hence, there would be no daily swap for holding open overnight positions.

      In the case of clients with tax residency within EU, US ETFs may only be available for professional clients.
