    I currently have an account with Interactive brokers, but it's so complex. It's a very complex platform.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Learn it slowly. It is not rocket science.

    I don't really like it.
    It might even be the best out there. But, to my eyes, it seems complex.
    Even placing an order is not intuitive.
    I'm a newbie, but I think there should be something a bit more intuitive.

    Use the smartphone or iPad app. Intergration with TradingView is in beta.

    IBKR is one of the best out there - for the pros. Unfortunately, it is not good for newbies.

    If you are going to use it, please go through the training material and first try some paper trading.

    All the best!

    What's wrong with E-trade?

    Just learn the platform while you are learning how to trade.

    IB is one of the best out there so why change just because you don't want to learn to use the platform? You could also use IB with a third party platform.

    DONT know if Schwab allows new customers. They 're good in USa
    An Israeli broker, etoro, looks good, but dont know for sure so if interested , try/ before moving from IBKR.

    Connect NinjaTrader to IB and problem solved. Ninja is very intuitive.
     
  10. I hope not all in your age are alike. 30 hour work weeks also too tough for you to handle? 6weeks annual vacation too much to handle? You might be excused if you were a 72 year old and finding tws too complex. FYI, the goal in financial trading and investing is to generate positive returns, not to feel good about yourself when you push the buttons.
