One of the best explanatory videos for the begginers with IBKR!
Thank you!

Great and informative video as usual Tom. I did try your links but I also had problems trying to work out exactly which item to select but I found the easiest way was to look on the 'Stock Exchange' tab in the JustETF page which details the Listing locations, currency, and ticker. Then it was easy to pick the right line item in IBKR. Keep up the good work, your vids are really informative.
I only offer educational courses via my website indexmasterclass.com (use the links above).
Aaaaaand that page is gone now :( The new one is quite unusable.
More User Perspectives
The "pennies" website re-directs to a different website which do not seem to be affiliated with Interactive Brokers. So this guide is not usable as of 2025. Have you considered making an updated version for 2026?
@FelixxxxxxxxxHello Tom, thank you so much for your time and effort in creating this tutorial, it is extremely helpful. i started from zero to opening an account and buying an ETF and a stock. God bless.
@rastafari6336Are there any differences if I wanted to invest in like the VOO S&P 500 through Interactive Brokers? I’m an Italian citizen, and am currently working temporarily in the U.S., but plan on staying here long term. I’m a real newbie when it comes to this stuff, but would like to know if it’s safe for me to start investing long-term, so I can actually understand the process and start early. Thank you!
@mariocoppola1429No mention of the referral bonus? I found out about it 1 day after registering, and regret about not knowing earlier.
@dalmacietis7:18 @thetomcrosshill is there any update about contract information center. Steps that you mentioned in this video, doesn't work anymore.
@ObiteljJuričZagorščak-h1iThe client portal doesn't look like that anymore.
@ab562this cracked me up :D informative, thanks
@ievaGiMany thanks. You were a great help
@racmanovWhy is no one buying my order? I set it even on Market and while the Stock is active...
@tenxenFor me its charge 3 euro per trade.
Is this normal?
Useless video
@hristonancovski4060How do you compare this solution with etoro and Swiss quote?
@zelphusIgnotohow do you get the permission to buy fking etfs though
@goonerking-l5lThey could use a good programmer.
@leonsinko4328honestly I really wanted to get into IBKR, but it seems like such a hassle, and I'm willing to learn technical stuff, but that's just complete nonsense.
THey don't even have the proper ticker, and you can't find it on the app... WTF ?
Ibkr is horrible. No isin either.
@kozmagergelyThank you!
@TidhareVery helpful, thanks!

@mepehsa8320Thanks for the overview! Have you looked at Fidelity International? Curious on what their platform looks like for UCITS ETFs
@cl77004:12 Which Ireland?….. Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland?
@juniormarshallhastings723Excellent video, thank you. How can you display the currency ? I can't see it in the order ticket window. Thank you

@hotmarry4584Hello, I wanted to ask — I’m from Lithuania and buying through Interactive Brokers for the first time. I want to buy the ETF VWCE. When I enter the purchase amount, I see fees of €2.55. Is that normal or too much? Am I doing something wrong?
@martynasstapulionis1781Hey guys! I could really use some guidance concerning my Chrome extension for ByBit WEB3 wallet encountering difficulties with this wallet: ( burst day midnight giraffe gravity execute scheme inflict slide ship plate equip ). Is there anyone who's dealt with this before?Trying to send to Binance exchange would love some community support on this!
@10htony-g6xHi! Do u know if it is possible to close the account and then almost right away open it again?
@mariialeos5745And if one wants to bypass the smart feature, how does it work ? In the video the etf selected whats the first woth the symbol, so I'm guessing it's the one proposed by the smart feature?
@dieddfThanks for the info. Please, make more IB videos when you can.
@YonsiTraderHi Tom, very informative thank you. But i was following your opening of the justetf app but yours looked very different to mine. Any ideas please?
@peterburgess980Thanks 👍 just opened my account coming from investengine and 212 and found the UI and functionality so alien and clunky 😮
Haven't figured out if I can make a pie style portfolio yet
This is literally the best video regarding this topic
@jstasrcsticguyJust now considering to move everything from degiro to ibkr due to degiro's latest news and this video is a godsend.
@zanshibumiDzięki! Thanks! ❤
@czerwonyrekinAs an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors become millionaires off investing. I’ve been sitting on over $445K equity from a property sale, not sure where to go from here, is this a good time to buy into stocks or diversify?
@ChristopherZachary-m2qGreat video!
@TheMarketsMindsetPuedo hacer depósitos en dólares desde Europa? Para comprar acciones de USA
@manuel_nicaraguaI am a beginner at investing and i used to be membet at freedom24 and i want to change the platform i use so i have a question which platform has a drip automated button in ibkr the global trader?the trader app or the third option?
@panagiotistsaltas3286IBKR seems so shit to be honest! I mean in this time and age, they cannot display and provide a search by the ETFs regular names!!!
@Prashant-uw9jzI'm a beginner but I like IBKR. The biggest challenge is just using the bits that you need. I feel safe with IBKR because there are plenty of warnings to flag potentially dodgy transactions. If you have a Wise account depositing & withdrawing is very slick. Thanks for the video
@user-zk8im3oz4kThe sarcastic part with going to a contract center really got me 😂
'Super intuitive' and customer friendly indeed!
