Considering a change ... what would you guys recommend? I trade mostly stocks, and considering some futures...
Genesis securities commision is less than 50% what interactive brokers charge. futures commision with IB is OK, but not the cheapest
I think they are great. Some will argue. I think you should at least give them a try. If you don't like them, move again. There has already been much written about IB. Do a quick search and you will get everything from "WTF? How do they call themselves a business" to "best folks to be with".
Wisetrade is the best out there! lol (I AM VERY MUCH joking) IB is good, i like it! Genesis is next in my book!
I moved an IRA there cause I like the idea of the universal account and world markets also they are not a dime adozen fly by night outfits....of course when refco goes anyone can..... also I have tried an ira futures account and no US broker and cusdodial would handle it, with IB it is a cinch and FREE. the one USA based IRA custodial (Millenium TRust) would charge a whopping fee / year after year....
i have my ira and another account there. great company but they need to lower there stock and futures commissions. can't bbeat ther euniversal ira to trade futures and options
