any broker to provide API and direct access to ECN ?

[lovefxspot]

I have been with IB for many years, recently IB becomes more and more unfriendly. my trading needs to send orders to exchange directly, for example, send to Drctedge or arca. By doing that in IB, it charges very high commission. not only that, IB puts my account in close-only status complaining I have high OER.

I hate ib as much as I like.

i had same problem before but smart primary + post-only saved me

and for oer thing amend is the way to go. just dont cancel/new. learned this in hard way...

IB is not that bad even though i already switched to cowen.

In this forum, there are thousands of traders who hate IB.
don't hate IB (or any other broker). It is very bad for your health.
Also, negative emotion is very detrimental to trading.

Don't attempt to change how the broker should operate.
Instead, go and change the broker.
