Can I open an IMPACT account if I live outside the US?

Only Non-US resident accounts opened through IMPACT are eligible for automatic currency conversion.

For these accounts, IBKR will automatically convert currencies to facilitate multi-currency trading for orders entered through IMPACT or any other IB trading platform. This means that you can purchase assets that trade in currencies other than your base currency without first having to manually complete a currency conversion…

GlobalTrader is available to residents of the countries listed in the Available Countries page, unless otherwise noted below.

Please Note…

If you have an eligible IBKR account, you can simply log into IMPACT using your account credentials. You do not need to open a new IMPACT account.

Note…

Fractional trading is enabled by default when you open an IMPACT account. Fractional trading is also supported in the IMPACT paper trading version.
