I agree but the desktop trading platform TWS has a somewhat complex learning curve. I have a relatively small account I keep at TD Ameritrade so I have access to the TOS platform but I execute the trades at IB.  IB margin rates are the lowest in the industry by FAR.  Customer service is really poor, almost impossible to get through to a human, online ticket response time can be over a week.  If you have a sizable account and trade frequently you should really consider IB.
