The writeup is spot on. If you know what you're doing, IB is great. If you dont, then you need to go elsewhere, it's not a place to learn. IB is basically a professional traders platform and not geared toward the retail set like Schwab, Etrade and those.

Dear sir, I am very much satisfied with the interactive brokers scheme as they offer much cheaper brokerage charges. I have heard of online trading for which brokerage charges are charged manually, but these brokers had provided me with complete information on each and every stocks. Not only they guided me regarding brokerages but also about the right time to buy or sell a particular stock, which to hold, what will be the trade index in the near future and so on. Interactive brokers are much helpful.
