Great pricing for trades

Nice deal on trades, and the UI is solid, even if it's not always easy to use. You can reach many markets easily. FX trades are the best value in Australia. Support can be hard to contact, yet they show up when needed.

Best broker bar none

Although it may look intricate and intimidating as a brokerage site, it remains the most intuitive and user friendly option around. Easy to navigate and informative at every stage of a trade, with options to customise layout to suit you.

Complete and complex just at the beginning

An all-in broker with lots of investing choices. It’s tricky as well (because of all the options) and the reports can be a bit confusing at start; you get used to them later. Then, it’s a very good, trustworthy and low-fee broker overall, still a decent choice.

I love low cost trading
Low-cost trading here feels nice, and I value the transparency that comes from a publicly traded broker like IBKR, plus a huge range of instruments.

Low-cost trading here feels nice, and I value the transparency that comes from a publicly traded broker like IBKR, plus a huge range of instruments. Still, a few rough edges show up in the site, such as login SMS sometimes failing, charts that are awkward to read, and endless reminders that I should take action today anyway.

Poor customer service

Waiting for trading permission took over two months. I filled every required form again and again, checking emails for updates. The support team never updates, barely answers, and I got nowhere. I gave up and shut the account.

Excellent pricing for trading futures…

Nice pricing for futures trading. The platform and workspace feel solid. Interest paid on rrsp accounts. Orders fill well, no front running. Very few issues, and I trust it.

You Get What You Pay For

IB charges are low, but you know the drill - "you pay for what you get." Their help team is unreliable, slow to reply, and any raised issue comes from a random person in your inbox. I've spent the last year moving my million-plus holdings to a different firm. Not sure it helps.

1&2 COMPLAINT

1. Phone waits are too long. 2. Cannot reach Support except through email. Been at it for OVER A YEAR to fix the legal address and current License number. Lots of emails and files were sent. Even a formal complaint. A quick call could fix the matter right away.

Excessive Risk Rules & Failure to Optimize Execution for Experienced Options Day Traders

IBKR provides solid tools and fair fees. Still, the platform has two major flaws that make it hard for serious traders to trust: 1. Weak risk controls and unfair liquidations: The system uses margins that are too strict, ignoring a long history of careful risk checks. The rules punish long options with set risk (like LAPSE) and treat them as if they need unlimited margin. This causes forced liquidations and extra rules, and it pins traders who try to control risk well. This odd mix leaves experienced traders unsure how risk is read or when the rules will change. 2. Poor options day-trading routing: I have raised issues about SMART routing not working well for day trades. It often misses sending orders to the exchange with the best liquidity and quicker fills at the time. That causes poor fills and inefficient trading. On several days I watched options trades sit, with quotes stuck, while other venues showed better price and size. My ideas to fix SMART routing to help day trading options have been ignored, showing no support for day traders. In short: IBKR shines in tech and pricing, but fails badly on risk handling for active retail users and on real ops to help profitable day trade options. This slow reply to key user concerns is not acceptable. I expect real changes soon, hopefully.

Run a different path from this company

Pick another route than this firm, things changed lot with Way Mine, opposite to what they promise. Advance fix, no hassle and nice pay. It’s been my best choice yet.

TERRIBLE customer service

Awful support. They rely on AI for everything, so a real person is hard to reach. No phone line, no email option. Only in-app chat, and it's slow. They also pulled money from my retirement with no warning. This caused big tax issues without my approval. Ridiculous app. Totally not worth it.
