    I've been with IBKR for about 20 years.  The customer service and platform leave a lot to be desired, but if you know what you're doing, it's worth it for the price and access to so many markets. If I had a simpler, just a couple of personal accounts kinda thing going on, I would probably be with TastyWorks....but I don't think they're international yet.

    You can link your IBKR to other front ends, like TradingView, for better trade functionality. But it's only good for simple trading. If you're buying and selling complex option spreads, I think you're basically stuck with the platform (unless you're a coder and can program your own front end....not as hard as it used to be now that we have generative AI).  IBKR does have some templates available in their API section. 

    Super helpful, appreciate you taking
