IB platform & mobile app is fantastic, broker fees are cheap but opening account is too difficult and complicated. Initial margin on US futures markets for Australian clients are way more expensive than what the exchange has set out and too difficult to apply for intraday margin. I can understand that IBKR is trying to protect themselves but its way overboard. All the mumbo jumbo just to apply for an intraday margin, I might as well go with another broker to trade futures. If you're trading stocks and options, IBKR is fine.
所有这些胡言乱语只是为了申请盘中保证金,我还不如去找另一家经纪人交易期货。
如果您正在交易股票和期权,IBKR也可以。
