Re: Is Interactive Brokers suitable as a platform

The simple answer is: NO.
A friend of mine traded with them, and they seemed fine until he realized that their platform mistakenly failed to get him out of a position he was in. When he called them, they put him on hold for 45 minutes while the price moved against him. This is just one of a dozen horror stories I've heard with IB. Best to play it safe and find a more responsible broker.
