As others have said...they are awful As others have said...they are awful. I posted about them before and will post again. I only use IB for stocks I can't get elsewhere and only have positions open in 1 stock. I wanted to open another one today, so I deposited money, converted it to dollars and when the market opened I was ready to buy a new stock that I can't find anywhere else.. Went through all the process and right after clicking buy IB told me the stock can only be sold not bought. What the hell? I can't wait to transfer out but I suspect that will be impossible going off other reviews. UPDATE: In reply to their response....Sorry you're 15 months late to the game, I've moved on already. You didn't reach out to solve my issue so don't lie. You reached out to prove the review wasn't a bot and there's no way I'm giving my phone number just to do that.

Vintage Broker With a Once Great History Broker with a great history facing fierce competition in peculiar ways. Commissions are average to expensive, given a vast movement of retail brokers that offer low cost trading these days. That is OK though if you like their Trader Work Station TWS, a powerful piece of software that is as easy to handle as flying a Jumbo Jet. It can get you to a lot of places if you know what you are doing. IBKR is still a decent broker if you are a professional or semi professional trader with a good volume of daily trades. If you are, you probably have no need to read this review. If you are retail and if you are considering to trade volumes below 1 Mio $ a year, the following might concern you. I am slightly below that margin with IBKR, so the following comes from personal experience. According to IBKR customer service, regulators do not allow IBKR to display delayed market data for free anymore. I am not talking about top secret stuff. I am talking about charts of stocks that that can be seen pretty much anywhere for free. With IBKR you need to either pay extra for looking at charts of your own investments or keep trading in high volumes. This is new. In the past you were able to see charts of your stocks just like with every other broker. When I asked IBKR about this change, they answered that turning off free charts for clients was due to "regulatory guidance" and in "compliance with FINRA's policy." This is my second effort to review IBKR. The first one was deleted through Interactive Brokers, claiming my review was colliding with the rules of Trustpilot. If it was, it might have been because I was speculating why IBKR was imposed such harsh restrictions by regulators after their transfer from the UK to Luxembourg. I actually felt sorry for a company that I thought did well in the past. After all, restrictions like this may bring a company in a disadvantageous position relative to its competitors. This time I am not speculating and I am not giving you my subjective impression. Instead I let speak facts for themselves. Here is what they say: "IBKR is no longer able to offer delayed quotes for major stock exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ." Of course customers are still able to see charts of their investments. They need to subscribe market data through something called Market Data Assistant, a rather complicated toolbox for something that is on open display at any other shopping window down Broker Alley. To find the right key for this magic box, you need to first subscribe a "US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle" for 10 USD per month that is waived for months with commissions exceeding 30$. Once you have subscribed this bundle, you may subscribe additional bundles that give you a chance to see your investments in classic chart view. Sounds complicated? Go on and read what they have to say: "In order to know what market data you are required to subscribe, you can use the market data assistant tool for the same. You need to enter the Region, Exchange name and Symbol. Once entered the tool will give you list of market data to be subscribed."

Excellent Service Great company with great people . They are always willing to assist . They are very professional:))

THE MOST GOD DAMN AWFUL BROKER I HAVE USED IN 20 YEARS… THE MOST GOD DAMN AWFUL BROKER I HAVE EVER USED. IMPOSSIBLE TO LOG INTO ON WEB / DESKTOP (IT KEEPS OPENING MY MOBILE APP BUT ONCE I LOG IN THERE THERE IS STILL NO WAY TO LOG IN ON THE MACBOOK). THEIR MOBILE APP IS ABYSMAL. JUST DON'T BOTHER. THEIR DESKTOP APP IS SOOOO HARD TO USE. YOU CAN'T FIND THE MOST BASIC AND POPULAR INSTRUMENTS TO TRADE. TOTALLY USER UNFRIENDLY AND OVERLY COMPLICATED. BUT I'M SAVING THE BEST CRITICISM FOR LAST: THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT. I ALSO DEFY YOU TO GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND FIND A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. AVOID.

Corrupted Cant buy a stock because THEY evaluate it to be too high? Do not join the trading platform, corrupted.
