Has anyone tried them, are they good? This is the only platform I can use, will this do good for options trading

Half of /smg/ uses them, especially the euros. Shitty interface, cheapest margin you can get on the market.

What's options trading like? I've been told you get 10 stocks per option

Every options contract is based on a 100 shares dude. Go and read up on investopedia before you even think of touching options if you dont know basics like that.

>zero fees on US stocks
wtf based??
they accept yuros?
if so might have to switch

They accept euros but the zero fees thing is IBKR Lite, their answer to Robinhood. They didnt accept euros on that a year or so back when i signed up. Its 1 dollar per trade for the regular one so not that bad. A bit more per options contract.

their software is dogshit, but the underlying financial and trade execution services are far above other brokers, plus they are not a banking institution, which means they can not do crazy shit like liquidate their client's holdings to stay solvent like what Lehman Bros and Bear Stearns did in 2008

Oop, sorry
I was told I get 10 shares per option.
What's the minimum deposit, it says 10,000$, is that true?
What is wrong with the software?

it's very old and clunky, it is workable for someone experienced but a person new to trading will feel confused and overwhelmed unless he is patient

What's your opinion on the app? Is it better or just a smaller more lite version of the desktop
