IB FYI Notifications Now on Mobile

IB FYI notifications are now available in IB TWS for mobile. This powerful system sends you custom push notifications based on your portfolio and trading activity, and is designed to keep you informed of upcoming events that could impact your account.

  • For time critical information, receive push notifications in real-time, as they happen.
  • Configure which FYI events you’d like be notified about directly in your mobile app (please note that if you log into read-only mode, you will be asked to enter your credentials before you can make any configuration changes).
