DTB - How do you buy BRK prior to the market opening ?


Just like any other limit transaction - on Interactive Brokers you just check ‘Allow transaction outside of market hours’, or some such. On TD WebBroker which still feels like 1995, I never do this but apparently it’s possible: https://www.td.com/ca/en/inves...




BTW I used the gambit for currency conversion again and it works a lot faster with the 1 day settlements now in effect. Also, this time I was able to journal shares from U.S. side to CDN side using WebBroker without contacting them for assistance.

Yes, that is a nice recent improvement. It was always a little awkward doing it over the phone, as it must be pretty obvious to them that you are just skipping out on paying them $1000 in slippage from their awful exchange rates. It even surprises me that they allow this at all, but I guess they figure they may as well tolerate us since they can still rip off 95% of their customers who are not even aware that they are getting ripped off.
