Reviews from actual traders
Chats dont keep up to date, prices dont keep up to date, and consistent disconnecting from broker....INBK TWS is worse though so take your pick.
good
So far, so good!
Great value broker. Excellent breadth and depth of trading instruments/products. IBKR trading platform is not so great though. Luckily, we have this TradingView integration now, and hopefully we will soon be able to trade Forex as well.
Thank you for sharing this. We are constantly improving and updating our platforms. Our flagship platform, the Desktop TWS is purposely designed as a spreadsheet as it's an interface most professional traders are accustomed to. You may want to try Mosaic, Client Portal or IBKR Mobile for a more contemporary user interface. We encourage our clients to review IBKR Campus. Here you can learn about trading, financial markets, and Interactive Brokers trading tools. ibkrcampus.com/ We’re working with TradingView on providing support for FOREX trading. If you have any specific currency pairs you’d like to see or additional questions, please contact us at tradingviewsupport@ibkr.com. We look forward to serving you in the future.
Excellent broker low cost
Been using IBK for a few years now. No major issues. Obviously TWS is antiquated, hence using the TV integration.

I primarily got IBKR to have a backup for using TradeStation with TradingView integration and secondarily for automated trading. IBKR is adequate it seems when monitoring trades that are using an automated entry algo or if you are trading on a higher timeframe and have plenty of time. However the lag I get with IBKR when using TradingView integration in comparison with TradingView is rather significant. Trying to use the long/short drawing to create a limit order lags for seconds and you get a pop up about the order slowing everything up. Bottom line is that IBKR is NOT currently optimized for fast trading using TradingView.
The integration between TradingView and Interactive Brokers is a really game-changer for me. My win rate raised significantly because I can react immediatelly when market trend changes and reverse my positions in just 1 click. Thanks for this amazing feature. I really love it!
