    that's why I closed my IB account - using only serious futures/equity brokers. IB is the Kmart of trading, you get what you pay for.

    So, which brokers do you use?

    I've been with IB for 8 years, but looking to change brokers at this point.

    Cheers.

    More than half my current clients switched from IB to Lightspeed Trading or use IB or LS as a second broker. Happy to talk to anyone with an account >$25K for futures or Reg-T or $175K for PM. We focus on US listed equities/options or futures/options. We can do international accounts but NOT Canadian.

    Are there any plans for LS to change the interface to something cleaner? Right now the platform seems to be entirely focused on discretionary traders and I had trouble finding even the simplest things like commissions. Are there additional fees for usage of the API? I have PM account with IB and I'm looking for alternatives.
