Their various apps (mobile, web, desktop, etc) are all over the place with how each functions and not consistent or intutive to switch between them. You also have to pay multiple times over for realtime data and can't login on multiple devices (i.e. phone and desktop) at the same time. Every time you submit an order, you get like 4 pop up messages you have to hit accept on. You can't just one-click and send an order which causes a delay in getting you order into the market for filling.
Thank you for taking the time to reach out. We understand your concerns regarding the platform differences and login limitations. Our platforms are designed with specific features tailored to each device type to ensure optimal performance. The restriction on multiple device logins is a crucial security measure to protect your account from unauthorized access. Regarding the trading process, while it may seem tedious, each confirmation button services as an important safety feature to prevent costly trading errors.
very good
Thank you!
Many markets and assets, professional execution (so far), relatively low fees
Thank you for sharing this!
Does not integrate with Tradingview for executions - unreliable; doesn't show executions; needs constant reloading to see if a position is in-fact exited; no stop losses executed. Quite aweful really.
All of IBKR’s trading platforms support TradingView charts. For instance, here are Advanced Charts in TWS, which are powered by TradingView: youtube.com/watch?v=g1eebNgBSws.

In case you didn’t know, it's possible to integrate your IBKR account with TradingView. Here are steps to connect: ibkr.com/faq?id=60344930.
Excellent, helpful for all type of trader’s
Thank you!

How good this broker is? Well, just take a look at IB's stock quote to get an idea of the platform adoption rate and client retention. I expect it to be a partner for many years.
We thank you for your kind words and business!
i cannot trade forex via tradingview with my Ib account
We value your business, and we're grateful you took the time to contact us about this. Clients with LevFX trading permissions can trade FOREX through IBKR on TradingView. You can manage your trading permissions in Client Portal if you would like to request additional trading permissions. A trading permission will not display as a choice if your account does not meet the qualifications. We would appreciate the opportunity to turn around your experience.
Excellent

Great spread and comission

a little difficult to manage as the app keeps knocking you out before you complete a task, but I've managed to get this far! :)
