I had to throw in the towel on IB. That affiliate hassle was just too annoying. They would completely restrict a stock I was holding (couldn't even sell it!) because they thought I was an affiliate? Must've happened a couple dozen times at IB. Never happened once at any other broker and I've been doing this since the mid 90's. Weird.
