I find the whole idea of an "assigned broker" a bit creepy. I prefer the Interactive Brokers style where you can anonymously make a million or blow your account without worrying about someone looking over your shoulder.
Hi Notouch,

Obviously I'm biased, but your broker is there to help you manage risk and work with you. This is one reason why I'm able to offer considerably lower margins than other "anonymous" firms. In addition I'm in the service business so if a platform ever goes down (which they all do from time to time), my clients call me directly and I execute any trade for them immediately for no extra charge. I'm a back up thats it.

Best regards,

Tom
