    Does IB close accounts associated with low tax jurisdictions?

    I asked IB support and they told me:

    Does IB close accounts associated with low tax jurisdictions?

    Reading through that thread re-gains me a little more confidence. It seems like they are mostly targeting non-US persons due to a recent fine by the US gov. And Panama is blacklisted.

    Does IB close accounts associated with low tax jurisdictions?

    Ninjatrader for Mac...

    Thinkorswim by TD Ameritrade supports mac, as does TWS by Interactive Brokers. If you want something generic for Mac, MotiveWave is probably your best bet unless you run virtualization software.

    IBKR Lite now has access to TWS

    IQFeed is very reliable. If I was starting over I'd look more into Polygon.io. I wouldn't bother too much with free data sources.

    IBKR Lite now has access to TWS

    IB Pro supports institutional accounts, better margin rates, better order execution, API and advanced order types. Until IB Lite is on par with IB Pro, I'll continue to pay commissions. Which one is best is really going to depend on the type of trading you do.
