Hi,
I noticed while applying for an Interactive Brokers account that if you chose chose a Cash account it seemed to restrict the countries you can trade in.
I contacted them and was told: "You will have to select Reg T margin to be able to trade in different countries".
In other words a margin account as opposed to a Cash account.
I would rather avoid margin accounts as they seem more complicated without any clear benefit for my relatively simple needs.
Does the response from IB above sound correct and am I wrong to be avoiding a margin account?
Cheers,
Mick
