Personal Account in IB

Hi all,

I am curious as to how personal brokerage accounts are dealt with in IB. I understand you must disclose them to HR, but how do individual trades work? Would I need to approve every trade with HR before doing so? If that's the case may as well just ship it all into Crypto lol.

you need to pass every trade through the control room for approval...not sure why that would make you want to put everything in crypto, but that's up to you.
