Likelihood to Recommend	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Interactive Brokers Interactive Brokers is appropriate for retail equity investing and pension accounts holding - totally appropriate. Institutional accounts and proprietary trading group accounts - appropriate for those managing risks themselves because there is no automatic or supervised control and you trade at your own discretion. Not appropriate - is you look for crypto trading with instruments not accepted by regulator authorities as featured instruments with acceptable risk, to make sustainable and regulated investments with the main aim to preserve capital. All not regulated instruments are not appropriate and it is good and professional. Andrey Lokshin Senior Financial Analyst Read full review
