Thanks for the information. I have been using IB and their API and had always wondered about the quality of their code base. I assumed there was a lot of legacy with their systems - I just had little idea of how well they were managing things internally.

For my limited requirements, Interactive Brokers does seem to meet needs, but do you know of a platform that is highly regarded that is accessible for clients outside of the States?

Interactive Brokers seemed to tick a lot of boxes at the time when I chose them.

The outside the US part, I think, will greatly narrow your universe of choices. Have you looked into Lime Brokerage? They are now owned by Wedbush but they used to have top tier technology.
No, it is the first time I have heard of them. I will check them out.

Cheers

Thanks for pointing it out, I looked at Lime, but the pricing is prohibitive for the amount of shares I would be trading. From what I can tell you would be looking at about $2,000 or more in fees per month.
