A: Linking your current IB account to Gar Wood will enable you to make a direct connection from your GXT/Nirvana products to Interactive Brokers. IB requires 3rd party broker involvement in order to connect directly. • You gain access to our server version of the Trade Processor so you can eliminate your cloud instance. • You can access to the Trade Processor directly through the OmniVest web site. • You gain access to the GXTrader Trade Away website. http://gxtrader.com/tradeaway.aspx Q: What do I lose, if anything? A: Nothing, you gain an additional level of excellent service. Q: Can I still use Traders WorkStation and IB Gateway? A: Yes, you will still be able to access and trade your account through the IB TWS and IB Gateway if you choose to. Q: Can I use my IB demo account? A: You can continue to use your IB Demo account if you run TWS or IBG but not through the GXTrader connection. Interactive Brokers doesn't allow their demo accounts to connect without TWS or IBG. Q: Does it work for multiple broker accounts / advisor accounts? A: Yes, you can have multiple accounts at Gar Wood and access them all using a dropdown in your Nirvana programs. NOTE: Advisor accounts (aka Friends & Family or F Type accounts) cannot be linked, they need to be reopened through Gar Wood. Q: Do my funds move? A: No, your funds will remain at IB. Q: Does my login change? A: Your login & security key to TWS, IBG, & IB's website will not change. You will receive a new login to use specifically for your GXTrader connection. Q: What is GXTrader & what is Gar Wood? A: GXTrader, LLC is wholly owned by Nirvana Systems. Gar Wood Securities, LLC is the preferred broker. Q: Do my commissions & fees change, if so what are they? A: Please contact Gar Wood directly for broker related questions at 512-623-7774. |
