You received horrible advice on point #1.
If you do not form an entity and trade as an individual with trader tax status (with no other income), you CANNOT fund an IRA. Pretty simple. So...
If you are doing nothing but large market orders and only care about commissions, then some flat-commission broker like TDA would be better than...
This isn't about you, buddy.
"d" is incorrect. Trader tax status has nothing to do with whether you can fund an IRA. Forming an entity does.
Thanks for cluttering up the board with an argument about semantics.
It's there. Create a statement with all options selected, and you will see the daily fees under Hard to Borrow Fees section (or some similar...
The goal of their web site is to identify trading skill, but without stats like turnover and costs, they're not going to succeed. Just my two cents.

Yeah, although it seems that if you were a prospective invetsor, you'd want to be able to see trade-level stats and portfolio characteristics...
I just joined fundseeder. Great potential, but I'm not seeing much in terms of analytics besides measuring the total value of your account over...
IB's TWS works nicely for these types of orders. You can even specify pre-market conditions to trigger a MOO order (with stocks), for example....
Let's say you want to close a position with a MOC order in a name that had pre-open earnings. The stock could easily move 8-10% intraday. Will...
So, market orders will only get filled if IB's tech team decides it will execute at a price you're going to like? That's like ordering a steak...
It's all about weighing the entire package. IB's offerings and price structure are good enough to offset their shitty customer service for most...
My favorite is "have you tried replacing your settings file?" In seven years, my settings file has never been corrupted. Meanwhile, I've...
Separate names with a comma.
