Forgot to mention: With level II feeds.
To my knowledge, Interactive doesn't provide that - -

You can get level II with IB but you can get it cheaper elsewhere. With your commission savings, you could get a third party provider such as e-signal, etc.

To my knowledge you forgot some

Lynx/and or, Andover is able to offer Canadian traders the ability to trade also.
Retail or prop.

Maybe they offer it, but they are approval by the Canadian Regulators, and under these terms the trader who does business with some non-approval brokers take a risk. The Canada is not competitive in DAT Brokers because many client of the regulator are the Canadian banks and they don't want too many competition.
