GBTop trading broker for retail investors also Pros- Best spreads for consumer/trader Excellent access to real time market data (paid) Excellent margin rates Great execution Innovating to progress and keep up Improved customer service Professional client services including chat service Access to overnight trading when enabled Cons - Old technology on TWS Steep learning curve UI on the web keeps logging/dropping off sometimes Not suitable for all types of traders (new starters etc) If not careful costs add up, as one would expect
P. S.
CHQuiz? I have actually been a happy customer of Interactive Brokers for over 15 years. Now I wanted to reactivate an old sub-account and can't because I have to complete a quiz. I find this absolutely cheeky and patronising. I'll probably be using a different broker in future. What a pity. If someone from support wants to contact me, it's about the sub-account: U3403389 I hope you can get away from this quiz again.

GBPoor transfer service I have been attempting to transfer positions from HL to IBKR since Dec 23. I've had to chase IBKR on multiple occasions and logged a complaint to transfer these positions with no success. HL state they are still waiting from approval from IBKR which has not been acted on.

AEI think IBKR method of calculating… I think IBKR method of calculating margin requirement on selling PUT options is faulty/false & lacks absolute understanding I am always available to discuss my position My over all experience of trading @IBKR is absolutely satisfying-something very close to perfection

GBInteractive Brokers is to investors what Disneyland is to little kids: a playground for the imagination I'm a retail trader and an IB customer for over a decade. IB's Educational tools opens the door to a vast domain of learning opportunity. IB's Trader Workstation opens the door to a vast domain of trading opportunity. You can inexpensively trade anything on any market in the world: stocks, options, bonds, futures, currency. It's the best platform out there.
