Interactive Brokers vs. TradingView

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.

This platform is suited for retail traders that use discretionary trading strategies and automated strategies alike. As far as HFT goes I cannot say as I haven't developed any strategies of that kind. So, i can't determine its appropriateness. For forex and stock trading I would say it has everything you need. I also can't vouch for how well it performs for options traders, I would imagine it may not be the go to app as I don't see any og the Greeks that options traders would need to monitor to make trading decisions.
