Is IB good or bad?

yes, I had that problem. Darn I wish I could remember how to fix it. It is real easy, even I could do it. You have to click something. Something maybe to do with default browser, java enable.

Don't bother asking IB, I kid you not, the reply I got was, "Sun java is what we use. If you can't run sun java then you can't trade with us. Have a nice day." And I aint lying.

Anyway, after you click whatever it is you need to click you won't have any problems anymore, and I think you may even find your java prgrams run better.


I believe that IE still has the advanced option that lets you choose the JAVA virtual machine (JVM): you can install both suns and microsofts. To change between them you change the advanced option .... and I beleive you need to reboot. Different Java Apps require diffferent JVM's .....
 
IB has a solid trading platform, very basic but functional and does it job well.

If you intend to trade alot and need quick automatic stop, then you can download an API program which allows for that.

As a whole I am happy with IB.
And would recommend it to you.
