Works great for me. Commissions are low unless you are trading large quantities of low priced stocks. No funds are available, but everything else is including futures and even options on futures. If trading futures, be careful about contract expiration and rollover.
They have one feature I really appreciate and that is, on request, you can get a hardware security key so funds cannot be withdrawn without it...even if someone steals your username & password. Does not work for daily database fills, just minute data up to 30 days of backfill minutes. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of danielwardadams Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 07:49 To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Interactive Brokers I know a lot of people using Amibroker also use Interactive Brokers (at least partially because of the automation that can exist between them). I'm thinking of changing to IB, not for the automation (at least initially) but because of the reduced fees & commissions, enhanced order types, etc. Are all IB users "happy" and are there any problems I should know about? Bottom line: is there any reason NOT to change to them? I understand the the IB workstation (TWS) is a bit of a hog because it's based on Java. I think I have enough computing power so this shouldn't be a problem but this is the type of thing I'd like to hear more about.
