Interactive Broker is really a prime broker. It provides amazing service to me. Also its tools and analytics is far beyond than any other borkers. It trading commission is low. I'd love to trade with them.

Switched from Fidelity to Interactive Brokers last year. The Interactive Brokers trading platform and customer service are in a different league to Fidelity who were next to useless.

Interactive Brokers has best execution and lowest commission / spreads. They are good at this. I only trade futures even currencies and thier commssion is lowest that help me make good scalp trades. Thier platform and customer service is okay or worse sometimes. But trust me, in trading execution and commission counts, anything else is just nice to have but not necessary.

All the bad reviewers are blaming IB for their bad trades. Look at their spreads man. Nobody can come close, not even Oanda. They do not trade against you. They did not get to be that big by deception and fraud. They are exceedingly good at what they do: Execution at bare bones prices. That is their game, and their only game, and they at the top of it.

The best experience I have ever had. In my opinion, the bigger company, the more services with fewer commissions you get. The same I would say about IB. The biggest aggregator of all kinds of brokerage services. Everything is great except minimum balance for trading. You have to deposit minimum $5K to start trading. Believe me, you can find something better in terms of one service from another broker, but you won’t find better as a complex of all available services for trading and investment in one place. Interactive broker is for those who want access to most trading instruments and exchanges. I never had something like widen spreads or slippages. API for external platform is working perfectly. I have stable execution whether I use my own platform or trade manually through their platform.

I have used the services of Interactive Brokers for stock option trading. Once I bought 10 contracts of call option at cost of 900 USD. As the price went up I had found only 3 contracts and sold these 3 contracts for 3000 USD. 7 contracts in value of 7000 USD were lost.They simply took my money away.I don't know whom I can trust in this industry.Perlit

I have several times tried to contact you and don't know why you don't reply. You are constantly advertising on tv here in S Africa, but I can't get hold of you. All I want is some email contact with somebody to establish if your trading platform will work for me.

very good

Bad customer service, nothing but sarcasm and bullshit.Took five days to process my funds withdrawl.NFA and CFTC complaints pending.
