Revolut is great. You just do not hold more than USD 100,000 at a time with Revolut. Nobody probably does that, so they are not exposed to the bank run scenario. Revolut has a banking license in Lithuania.

Do EUR CDs exist? Apparently not at IB: "IBKR offers only brokered U.S. Certificates of Deposits (CDs) which are listed for trading on a secondary market. Unlike CDs purchased directly from a bank, brokered CDs cannot be redeemed prior to maturity but can be sold prior to maturity, assuming a...

I would appear longs also longed for an exit ;-)

Maybe an irrational stock price increase may happen, when short sellers now will exit their positions? I am not talking USD 5, but maybe USD 2 while short sellers find their exit? The fee rate is 5.3%.

That is what I did comparing MIDPRICE to Adaptive (IBALGO).

How would you compare MIDPRICE to manually working an order with limit orders - is MIDPRICE better or the same? Unfortunately MIDPRICE cannot be used for CFDs.

How much does IG pay?

So you choose a worse broker because you can afford it. Makes a lot of sense. I will let you continue on your succesful journey. Since you are happy with IG, stay with IG.

Commission: IB 0.005 or below IG 0.02, so 4 times higher . You point to CFD leverage. For retail: IB 20%, IG 20%. But do not take my word for it. Take the word from IG itself: "79% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider."

ChatGBT? "On the other hand, IG Markets typically charges a higher commission or spread, but offers access to a wider range of markets and instruments, including CFDs and spread betting." Seems to suggest IB does not offer CFDs. It does.

I am happy for your input. You help underscore my point. Should we try once again Mr. 50% per quarter. Nice and easy. Let's go down from 5 to just 3 advantages of IG over IB. No bla bla. Just to the point. IG is better than IB for trading, because...

This is going to be entertaining. Can you nice and neatly list 5 things that make IG the superior choice over Interactive Brokers? No, nothing bla bla multi year learning curve, 50% per quarter crap. Just five concrete advantages of IG over IB?

From 3.3% - 4.3%. https://www.interactivebrokers.ie/en/pricing/short-sale-cost.php Question: Do you get the same interest paid to you on short sale proceeds of share CFDs?

As far as I know you only participate in the opening auction if you use an opening auction order - that is you specify that the order should participate in the opening auction. OPG order.

https://www.ig.com/ie I assume IG has a thriving business. My question is: How can IG have a thriving business when they offer an inferior product compared to Interactive Brokers on almost all parameters?

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/financial_markets_and_interest_rates/euro_short-term_rate/html/index.en.html This is the benchmark rate used by Interactive Brokers.
