Open an E-trade account. IB is about as bad as RobinHood. Nob heaven. TDA is chit and Fidelity is not too keen on micro caps. Most want to get away from micros. Most online brokers want IRA and retirement investors to screw over. E-trade is about the last of the original Scottrade type of brokers.
IB was great about 10 years ago. They were one of a few that allowed shorting penny stocks and fret sheet orders. Those days are gone. Welcome to the wild wild west.
