Re: Is Interactive Brokers suitable as a platform
Unleashed, i'm from Toronto and I had no issues with opening an account with Tradestation.

They are pretty quick in the turn around time and you should be able to send the forms overnight on them.

IB charts are not very flexible, not to mention they don't have real time time and sale ie TAPE.

If you do 10 trades each month with Tradestation, the platform feeis waived and you only pay for exchange fees.

I myself have IB and TS. They both have good points and bad points.

The product you trade should be irrelevant because you're trading against other people. Its learning and finding the right market to suit your personality.
