by uglychart on 2009-10-24 20:25:57I have been trading with Interactive Brokers for years - you can't beat the price. Trade execution time is lightning fast. I have never had a problem with any order.
The only thing that they could really improve is their charts (they suck - I use another program for charts), and additional functionality for conditional orders would be nice.




by serio on 2009-10-06 17:58:17The customer service can be tough to get a hold of, and isn't very polished or professional but IB is not meant for people who are just starting out. If you have some experience in the stock market and want cheap trades, this is the lowest price I have found. IB gets my recommendation




by trader on 2009-09-22 20:04:05Interactive brokers has really competitive pricing for their stock transactions. That's what drew me to them originally. I was coming from scottrade, so there was a definitely a difference in the intuitiveness of the user interface, but it wasn't impossible to get used to. Definitely if you're looking for really cheap commissions, Interactive Brokers is a good bet. If you're a newbie, you might want to try something different.
