Reviews from actual traders
I like the fact you can have multiple PT by entering multiple profit targets. It would get a 5 star review "IF" I could place PT / SL after a market order, but you cannot for some silly reason.
Great Broker. Can confirm other positive feedbacks. Connection from Tradingview needs to be more reliable or stable. Tradingview needs to expand the Filtering options to include also HLOC comparison to previous bars on different timeframes (like prorealtime)
needs to fix issue connecting with tradingview
Greatest Brokers of All Time (GOAT)!!!
No marketing gimmicks/ tricks, just business.
Sign up with them if you want low fees and awesome trading software platforms for mobile, web and desktop(TWS).
You must simply try out their volatility trader software on desktop, there is nothing like it.
Awesome sauce!
The support for multi accounts (Where multiple accounts trade as one) is weak. Only a drow down allowing to select a single account. FOr this reason I must stick with TWS
Connection is not very stable. Session always timesout.
Still haven't figured out to how to place a trade using TV and IB. The option is either not available or flashing dots suggest something may be there shortly but never appears. Also, if you're wanting to short BTC - You can't. Of course at this point it doesn't even matter but even if you could get chart trading to work you'll have to contend with the fact that they won't allow more than one access to your trading account. You have to close TV if you want to access your IB account on another device and vice versa. Not very convenient and so far I can't even place any trades and the reasons why are not clear - it's not worth any support time for me - better to just move on imo
IBKR is a real broker. I started with two brokers but decided to drop the other one and use IBKR exclusively. The other broker was not honest, nor secure. However, IBKR has great spreads, and lower fees. The platform can be simple if you use the web version, or complex if you use TWS, but really great for a trader to grow into. I believe this broker is one I can stick with for life.
The security at this broker is absolutely awesome! You get a message on your phone to log in by password or thumbprint. Great for those with larger accounts. The assets are ginormous! Definitely use this broker if you plan to make trading a career.
Works well for trading stock. Being able to trade from TV on the chart is very nice. Still lacks the ability to trade Forex and has limited access to IB account info. Would be much better if IB allowed user to log more that once that way one could trade stocks from TV and access IB's options terminal.
