I have been InteractiveBrokers.com for three years. Not 100% sure (more on that later), but overall a very satisfactory arrangement.

The B site. "With consolidated equity capital that exceeds U.S. $ 2100000000, B, and its affiliates ranked 16th-largest securities firm by institutional investors, as well as the # 1 software-based broker and lowest cost broker by Barron` s in 2005 over 17% of world trade options volumes * IBG through technology. "

Actions:

From site B ". IB SmartRoutingSM searches for the best price available at the time of your order, and unlike other routers, dynamically routes and re-routes all or parts of your goal to achieve optimum performance"

A great service. I went to a prop with a company that offers what it said was lightning fast executions, but it can not compare to the ease of instinctive smart TWSs' routing

Futures:

When combined with Buttontrader (plugin interface) platform that have almost equal to X-Trader (TT) part of the price. Trade the U.S., European and Asian markets.

Options:

A complex platform to use, but unbeatable prices.

Forex:

Used IDEALPRO the day they offer and was very disappointed. Since then it has evolved to a very tight spreads, liquid instrument. It is shaking up exchange industry because of his honesty ECN type executions.

Mapping titles:

This alone should be enough for most active traders to join. I save about $ 200/month in fees for market data and using esignal Multicharts (http://www.tssupport.com/products/multicharts/addon/), a sophisticated charting program that can take feeds from multiple sources with B feed.

Service:

This is where I've had a few problems. Sometimes livechat is busy or unavailable, messages that are unanswered for more than 24 hours (sometimes less, but you never know). And telephone manner that is almost insulting. I had trouble closing out a trade Dax 2 years ago and rang the hotline and agreed to pay $ 30 to have them manually shut it out. Got someone on the phone and eventually it was closed - but it was hard for me to see a $ 300 positive trade go negative $ 250 by the time it was closed. We expect sympathy because it was his way of thinking that caused the problem TWS (no error TWS-it was to do with the way they calculate the margin in foreign currency). However, Mr. Service was offhand .. I never called since. This is the office of the United States.
The Hong Kong office is said to be better.
