Re: Beginning trader needs imput: IB or TradeStation

I leave opinions on the logistics and features to others.

If you are going to put money at risk you should however make sure to learn about the "account risk" issues. What insurance does your broker offer for your account size? What additional insurance does your broker offer for futures accounts (if you trade futures). I suggest you call your broker and ask these questions. If you decide on a publicly traded broker, it is a good idea to request that they send you their standard disclosures for your files.

Good luck
