I need a new broker and new platform today - IB has to go immediately

Guys, which company can match or get closest to IB for fees?

The last two weeks with IB has been terrible.
I can't use them for 1 more day.
The data is disgusting, I can't even load a chart for 0DTE, their website is down, the login is stuck k a loop for 3 years now, their customer support are full blown fu*ktards and I'm sure they break the VWAP on purpose just to p*ss me off.

New broker requirements:
Starting Account Size = 30k USD.
I trade Long/Short US Equities, Long Options & Futures ES NQ.
Nice to have a Paper Trading account also.

My volume will be in the lowest tier for all categories.
EU Citizen, Middle East Based.

Thanks a lot for your recommendations.
 
I use Tradestation. I've been told their platform is superior to IB. However, Tradestation International may partner with IB, so I'm not totally sure.

Thanks for sharing this.
I didn't know the Trade Station had partnered with IB.

I checked out the website and seems you can link the Tradestation pla from directly with you IB account and work from Tradestation or IB TWS as you choose.

When looking at the prices, I can see they are now higher rates, ie Tradestation prices.
So I wonder, is the data feed now provided by tradestation. Have to give them a shout.

It's not that buddy.

On TWS I can't get data.
On IKBR Android app which is over 5g or 4g, I can't get data.
The issue seems to be with high volume 0dte options.
 
stop wasting energy complaining.
It is bad for health and trading.

there are quite a few brokers cum sponsors in ET.
go contact them.

do note that all brokers / trading platforms / charting s/w have
pluses and minuses.
but some have tons of minuses perhaps because
their servers are too far from your computer.

Well said fella!

Exactly what my wife said when I was whining to her last night.
Opened a new account already, time to move on and stop complaining.
