Can someone tell me what Lynx’s requirements are for cash and margin accounts? I was thinking of building data transfer to Excel using the TWS API. I’m just wondering if I should start with a normal account and build/test the data transfer connection, and then later change the Lynx account to a margin account so I could trade. Or what were the requirements for a margin account if I start directly with one. I’m mainly interested in testing if the data transfer connection would work with a Lynx cash account by getting a basic market data package. Apparently, it’s not possible to create Excel connections with a demo account.
Why Lynx and not much cheaper IB which Lynx uses?

Filing a tax return
IBKR’s report summary only shows interest paid for the last three months, and one has to dig through the ledger transactions for the remaining 9 months.
Have others had the same problem?
Edit: apparently related to the account changing to Ireland mid-year
Edit 2:
Had to file the tax return from two reports for the aforementioned reason. The account number changed during the transfer.
In Nordnet, you can now buy from the US pre-market with the app and later on the website:
you can start trading in shares listed in the United States as early as 2:00 PM Finnish time.
In the same article:
more news is expected before summer in the form of new online exchanges.
Will there be Asian exchanges? Well, one can always dream. Probably something like the Netherlands and France.

Good change, but only pre-market; in the evening, it’s still not possible in post-market – presumably because Nordnet doesn’t want to extend the working hours of its customer service and brokers later, and without even some kind of (“call Sweden”) customer service, trading cannot really be kept open.

Do others see “include extended opening hours” or something similar in that assignment type?

Heh, at Nordnet, at least the app shows the dividend percentage for US stocks incorrectly - or incorrectly in my opinion, meaning for the quarter. So if the annual yield is 6% and the company pays quarterly dividends, then 1.5% is shown as the dividend. Not like this.

It becomes visible when you update to the latest version of the app (iOS).

It will come to desktop later, if you tried to search through that.
Hi, is there a Nordea list stock savings day for this? I can’t find it at that bank. Regards. Have a good evening.
This problem is encountered elsewhere too. So the fault could be with Nordnet, but also with where NN gets its data from. So there might be an error in that data too, which can’t really be fixed unless one starts manually correcting them and hoping it doesn’t swing the other way when the error is corrected at the source.
Dividends and all key figures should be checked directly from the company’s own websites anyway if investment decisions are made based on them.

Nordea’s system cannot track acquisition prices if the stock is subject to a corporate action. Split, demerger, etc. Probably a share issue falls into the same category. Also, if the shares have been transferred from somewhere, there is no price information.

To my understanding, this only applies to the acquisition prices visible in the investor’s portfolio view 
It seems there’s a mention there that self-reported acquisition prices don’t go through.
Well, there are no hidden acquisition prices in the background that are not visible to the customer. Or what did you mean? If you don’t see it as a customer, the information doesn’t go to the tax authorities. And indeed, self-added acquisition prices are truly only for your own view. There is no other benefit from it.
Has anyone else experienced that the Nordnet app doesn’t show the latest purchase as a blue dot on the fund’s graph? It’s already been several weeks since the purchase, and the blue dot only appears in the app on the 3-year chart or larger. It doesn’t appear on any timeframe smaller than the 3-year chart. Through the browser, it does show correctly. Signed, a worried citizen.
Have you sent the tax authority those IB’s or Degiro’s own dividend reports or buy/sell reports etc. directly as such with your tax return? I.e., is it OK for the tax authority? And should there be a place in MyTax where you can add an attachment? It’s frustrating to type in dividends of a few euros etc. into MyTax.
I still have such a small number of transactions in IBKR that I type them in myself. Even if I were to attach the report, I would still have to calculate some things, such as total sales and disposals.
