STEP-BY-STEP
Getting started with IBKR
Once you’ve read No Nonsense Investing, these three short videos walk you through setting up your Interactive Brokers account step by step - from making your first purchase to putting your investment completely on autopilot.
i.
Making your first ETF purchase
This official IBKR tutorial walks you through the Client Portal trading screen - how to find your ETF, place a buy order, set your limit price, and confirm the trade.
ii.
Setting up automatic monthly contributions
This is the step that puts your investment on autopilot. This official IBKR tutorial shows you how to set up recurring investments so your chosen amount is invested automatically every month - no ongoing action required.
iii.
Reinvesting your dividends
Reinvesting dividends is one of the most powerful habits you can build. It means every cent your ETFs pay out goes straight back to work for you. This tutorial shows you how to turn on automatic dividend reinvestment in IBKR.
This tutorial is produced by an independent IBKR user. Steps may vary slightly depending on your account type. At this stage, IBKR hasn’t released an official video to show you how to reinvest your dividends.
