I really should know better.
I filled out an application, and put in an ACATS request to transfer assets, specified partial, and put in one of my positions. Now I'm being prevented from adding any others from my existing account because it says, correctly, that I've already entered a request for transfer of assets.
Like I didn't know that. I can't find any way to add more.
As if all I have is that position. Sheesh.
This is beyond stupid.

IB are the best.
They had server issues about six months ago, which cost an extra
5000 dollars on a losing trade.
However these things happen and I expect them every now and then. The API is easy to use, TWS is great too, costs are low.
Ofcourse everything isnt perfect, far from it, but you have to figure out and implement the work arounds.
And keep your ATS simple. The simplest trading systems are the best and easiest to code.
IB provide much more than we pay them for.

Try these guys:
www.redskyfinancial.com
You have a choice in clearing service but they do have an account minimum that is higher than IB's that tends to filter out the noobs.
Do not PM me requesting info, contact them directly. I use 4 brokers (including IB), and IMHO redsky are on top of the list.
Your mileage might vary...
poohbear, my original reply asks that you contact them directly.
Please do so, as account minimums/markets-traded, etc, vary according to the clearing solution sought and they can answer all such questions.
They should be able to give you a demo of the platform + API.
If you want stocks and Futures they offer universal accounts, again depending on who clears for you.
