IBKR and limit on the amount converting CHF to USD?

[OxygeN]

Hi all.
I've been warned when trying to convert CHF to USD that there's a limit of 125000 - does anybody of you know about this? The warning was also allowing me to tick a box to still proceed - but I don't know what consequences there could be. I've asked IBKR, of course, but no reply yet...

TIA

Hi

Are you sure, it's not 25000? There is a message indicating that for odd orders (below 25k), the routing may be suboptimal (not using idealpro).
I am not aware of any 125k limit.

I've got this alert:

Apparently it's just a warning, no fees or limitations apply. And, also apparently, these limits can be customised... although I haven't yet found where exactly :-(

Very interesting. It looks like it's only configurable in TWS, so that kind of sucks. But it's indeed only a warning that can be ignored. I have never done such high orders, so never seen this before.
