Yes exactly. And generally the website doing the reviews has a really nice discount on their commissions.
That's why I was wondering if anyone in the community had ever done a full side by side fee comparison.
Just looking at the fees and commissions that we would pay as regular traders with no 'sponsorship'
It's nearly 2021 -- by the time such a study was complete, it'd be obsolete.
Write down the cost + frequency of two or three patterns of trading (i.e., short, intermediate, and long term), and compute the costs for IB.
Then go shopping.
(And when you're shopping, pay heed to the platform layout and navigation. IB's TWS is not beginner friendly; your ability to tap TWS' vast flexibility will improve with experience.)

It would probably take a few hours only, there's only about 20 worthy brokers.
I think TWS platform is decent. And it's free.
Its not so complicated. I've been using it since March.
also trying to find alternative brokers who has competitive commission as to IB. Genesis was one but it was closed. Free commission brokers are not ideal for active day traders
Not following you buddy.
Looking for a spreadsheet that compares retail broker fees
I'm not selling anything

Most dont compare to IBKR;
but most all of them beat etrade. i think Mark was using sarcasm. Most all of them ,except etrade have better customer service.............................................................................................................Turn$ out low or no comissions can be a game changer.Dont keep up with margin fees myself.
