Just curious.
Is There any Broker in Canada as Low Commissions (stocks) as IB?
- Thread starter Bear Plunger
- Start date
No.
Quote from Jasonn:
how dare you think of other brokers
beg IB for forgiveness
also beg them not to decrease your buying power by INCREASING margin every second week
so fuken what that exchange increased numbers
why is IB increasing margin
NO ONE ELSE IS DOING THIS SHIT
Probably increasing their margin to minimize margin calls lately. They did this a long time ago with the oil futures - and never went back to the intra-day margin rates.

Other brokers have been increasing margins.
TradeStation ended their $1000 intraday margin for eminis.
2 weeks ago there was this post about RCG:
"yes, cme raised ES margins to $5,063 per contract.
RCG even doubled that to $10,126 for the ES. anyone have a similar experience?"
Imagine that, ES margin double what IB requires.
There was a broker that was an advertiser on ET called Efficient Executions, they had lower rates than IB for stocks. I am pretty sure they take Canadian customers but you should ask to make sure. Their website is www.efficientexecutions.com
FlatIrontrading.com the lowest! I am with them remote, I know they offer remote access for Canadian traders. I believe their site is down at the moment.
