Is IB a Bucket Shop

[Bitstream]

i wouldnt worry about the title, i knew it wasnt an ib bashin' thread and a title like has the benefit of attractin' attention and proves the contrary. bright side of the ugly coin.

I'm the last one to pass false info. If what you are saying is true, then something has changed. Where are you getting your information from?

Quote from Wayne Gibbous:

If IB took the other sides of my trades, they'd lose lots of money.

You got me a bit worried. Are you sure IB does not monitor customer progress and respond accordingly?

What I would like to know is how IB "can be both" a bucket shop
and not a bucket shop at the same time.
