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.
