    If you were to buy USD denominated ETFs on the LSE, is this considered "LSE international order book"?

    I ask because some brokers charge a different (higher) commission if it's LSE IOB vs "regular" LSE.

    People who are trading USD denominated securities on IB, are you funding your account with USD, or funding with HKD and then converting to USD in IB?

    If the former, what method of funding are you doing? Wire?
    If the latter, what's your rationale for doing this vs converting HKD to USD using your bank and then transferring across the USD?

    IB rates spank the bank rates.

    I use IB (the web interface) and found this article to be a good guide for 'normal people' on how to use it. https://retireinprogress.com/interactive-brokers-101/
