    Always cool to see what tools the more experienced people use. Yeah, I'll probably stick to something newbie friendly for now.

    For TWS, I would suggest you try a demo a bit a it is much more powerful than many realize. We also have another front end called Mosaic and if you don't like that, there are a host of other front ends that route via IB.

    As for cost, you are not comparing apples and oranges if you don't consider the hidden cost of payment for order flow. I came across this from Eric Hunsader of Nanex.

    Very nice def! I've had excellent experience with IB. You've always been very helpful.
