    IB"security"...nearly cost me my job. awful

    I am not sure he ever solidified that this is an "Introducing Broker" account. His exact Statement was this... "it is a company account...therefore it is an individual corporate account." He never specified the EXACT account Type. Ergo, I can be a broker with a corporate account setup as...

    IB"security"...nearly cost me my job. awful

    Didnt think that was the goal. We just find this odd. In my short life, anytime I see massive headaches like this, they can almost always be traced back to something I didnt do that I overlooked and didnt get clarification on.... (Etraitors was an exception. LOL) SO in our "hang the...

    IB"security"...nearly cost me my job. awful

    Sounds like the hell I went through at Etrade a while back. I answered tons of Q's ,etc... just to access my account and it took them 4 weeks from "authorization" to me being able to use the account. After that nightmare, I left.

    IB"security"...nearly cost me my job. awful

    I concur, sounds like all the violations of the policy they set forth put the account in "fraud alert" status, which means things get bogged down as they do all the checks the might have to do. I have run into this once or twice at my Bank... Being overly aggressive and then shut down because I...

    Brokers that don't have T+3 settlements
