Frequently Answered Questions
Q Is it safe to download InvMon?
A Yes. The InvMon installer download files have been digitally signed using official code signing certificates issued by Microsoft and Apple, respectively. The certificates have been issued to nCubate Software GmbH, the developer of InvMon. Both Windows and MacOS will verify the authenticity of the installer file and certificate before execution and will issue a warning or not even allow installation if there’s something wrong. Just make sure the info box on Windows says “nCubate Software GmbH” as the name of the signature when you run the installer. When installing on the Mac, your MacOS will also show an info box about running software downloaded from the Internet. There it must say “Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected”.
Please contact us at support@invmon.com for any questions or concerns about the download of InvMon or if there is a problem running the installer on your computer.
Q Can I use InvMon for professional purposes (commercial use)?
A InvMon is currently designed and licensed for private, non-commercial use by individual investors. While there is no technical limitation preventing professional or institutional use, such scenarios may require adjustments to licensing, support, and data provisioning.
If you represent a family office, investment firm, or other professional entity and are interested in using InvMon commercially, we’d be glad to hear from you. Please use the form at the bottom of this page to let us know about your use case and requirements.
Q How can I get one of the paid InvMon Plans?
A Just download and run InvMon. In the application, go the file menu and select “Manage Subscription…”. Then click on the GET KEY button to navigate to the sales.invmon.com website where you can sign up to any of the paid InvMon plans. The first month of use of any license is free. After that, we’ll use the credit card info provided by you during sign-up to charge the license fee and send you an InvMon license key that can be pasted into the application. To avoid a charge after the trial month, just cancel the trial, which is easy and quick to do. We use Stripe for credit card processing.
Q Why Interactive Brokers®? Do I need an IB account?
A No, an IB account is not needed. The history of InvMon goes back almost 20 years. First pre-InvMon development started in the form of a trading application specifically built against IB’s Java API. The situation today is different. As it is now, InvMon stands on it own and comes with a built-in interface to market data from around the globe, so an IB account is not needed. However, if you do have an IB account, you can take advantage of InvMon’s capability to connect to your locally running Trader Workstation and automatically synchronize account values and portfolio positions, submit orders and react to trade executions.
Q What are the supported base currencies?
A The list of currencies that are available to be set as InvMon’s base currency, or when adding a foreign currency account, are:
AED, ARS, AUD, BDT, BGN, BHD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CLP, CNH, COP, CZK, DKK, DZD, EGP, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, KES, KWD, IDR, ILS, INR, JOD, JPY, KRW, MAD, MXN, MYR, NGN, NOK, NZD, OMR, PHP, PKR, PLN, QAR, RON, SAR, SEK, SGD, THB, TND, TRY, USD, ZAR.
Please get in touch with us if you require an additional currency — we’ll see what we can do.
Q Does InvMon have access to quotes and charts, what are the delays?
A Yes, InvMon comes with a built-in market data interface. You get access to over 160,000 stock and ETF tickers, 350+ Crypto conversion rates and 168 world currencies. End-of-day data for quotes and charts is available with all InvMon plans. With plans INVESTOR and MAX, you get intra-day price charts with a delay as little as 5 minutes for all IEX listed US stocks.
If you have an Interactive Brokers® account and connect to it from InvMon, you get access to the same data and delays you have in your IB Trader Workstation (as subscribed for in your IB account settings). This includes up to real-time trade, bid and ask prices, which InvMon will display in real-time if available.
