Best transparency among traditional brokers
Richard S.
TWS · FX
IBKR publishes SEC Rule 606 reports, execution quality stats, and detailed order routing information. TWS is complex but powerful. For traders who care about verifiable execution data, this is the gold standard among established brokers.
Powerful but not user-friendly
Linda W.
Client Portal · Equities
IBKR's transparency is among the best in the industry. But TWS has a steep learning curve and their customer support is notoriously slow. If you value execution transparency over hand-holding, this is your broker.
Professional-grade, professional complexity
Nathan Y.
TWS · FX
IBKR treats you like an institutional client. Rule 606 reports, execution stats, order routing details -- it's all there. Downside: the platform and account management are unnecessarily complex. Support is slow.
