DTB, Jim, thank you!

I hate IBKR's options chain screen and will continue to trade them with Schwab. But regarding Currency Conversion and even transfer: Wow!

For a test I converted some USD in EUR. That was done instantly and with just a few clicks. And the rate: Unbeatable!

But that's not all: The test continued because I wired the resulting EUR (had to wait 2 days though before they were accessible) to my German EUR account. Normally that's a real hassle, requiring to not only enter your bank account but also lots of details about the Intermediary bank. And God beware if you do that after a glass of wine and make a mistake, as a wire can't be undone.

But with my IBKR account (surprisingly for me) being held in Ireland it was just a simple standard European SEPA transaction, entered in a few sec. Unbeatable again (Assuming the Euros will indeed arrive tomorrow :) !
