Does IBKR do proprietary trading with own money?

[DiceAreCast]

You can't be serious. Why are brokers not conducting basic iq tests to keep idiots like this from harming themselves and putting other customer accounts at risk with their stupidity. Individuals like this are in some jurisdictions locked up in straitjackets.

@def, I feel sorry for you for having to deal with such lost cases.

I think IB does proprietary trading, as stated here https://www1.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=46386
Being a trader it’s not possible to save oneself from risk completely, at some level or other it’s always prevalent. My knowledge might be limited but I suppose ECN accounts are better for keeping funds of client separate. Only because of this reason I am using Fxview and XM’s ecn accounts. Then again I am a small scale investor, so my fears might be relatively less of losing all my money completely. I am also quick in withdrawing my profits, fxview is fine that way, with my money reaching me in 2 days.
I guess it’s best to call IB’s customer care to find more sure shot answers regarding your capital.
