I'm just testing their platform (TWS) and their API, it's not a fun. Here on ET I get pissed by many sales pitches of IB who unfairly attack me when I write about my experience with their platform and API. I'm not interessted in making them down, I just report of the shortcomings I see, hoping that they fix and improve on them. A halfways intelligent person inspecting the recent postings here can see that what I wrote above is indeed true.
Best broker service at the best price equals a large customer base. IB wins in all three of these categories. I define the best service and best price as the system that makes me the most money in my trading.
You were attacked probably by a single IB salesman with multiple personalities and alias. He'll attack anyone like a mad dog if anyone dares to write some truth about IB. Believe me, just wait to see some crazy attacking posts after this post.
Um, you, the person who was trying to sell his services claiming over 5% daily returns, claimed to be trading large amounts of money (like in the neighborhood of $100K plus), and then admitted it was all demo stuff? - you say little that is ever true...
clearly a moron. lets let him die a natural one. twitter would be a good next stop, he'd have good company.
