    Any Traders Leaving IB for Commission Free Broker with Desktop Platform?

    The only real question worth asking here os which division will subidise the other. I vote for lite paying for pro on the long run. Pro is going nowhere and IB will keep investing in its flagship product. Pro may become even more pro by revamping and expanding IB prime to steal miniprime market...

    Trading can be learned alone?
