Agree 1000%. I've had accounts with both Eturd and TDAmeriturd, each for a few years. I'll never go back to them. The difference for me between those two and Interactive Brokers is the difference between a Tonka Toy and a Cat D10 bulldozer.
A heads up for anyone thinking of making the switch...don't close your other trading account until you start up the IB account and learn how to use their "Traders Workstation". It will take some time to learn the basics and then even more time to get acquainted with the plethora of features you will have at your fingertips. The time invested is well worth it as you will have SO MUCH more control over your trades. IB also allows you to trade futures, options, Forex and gives you access to world markets very easily. They also give you the option to start a mock trading account that uses the exact same software as the Traders Workstation so that you can learn everything without the risk of making a mistake with real money.
Disclaimer: I do not work for and am in no way affiliated with Interactive Brokers or anyone employed by them. I'm just a very pleased customer of 3+ years.
