I use IBKR and never had an issue with market orders. If you trade SPX options, the commish is minimal unless you are doing a lot of legs.

Mentions:#IBKR

Yeah, I only lightly skimmed your post, but came in to say: switch brokers sooner than later. Scwab is good, and their ThinkOrSwim trading platform is top notch. I don't have experience with IBKR, but I'd bet they're at least equal. Good fills too, often a penny or three on the good side of Midpoint. Oh, and stop trading on your phone, if that's why you were using RH. If you don't have a laptop (or desktop), buy one. You don't need a whole lot of horsepower, and something in the $300 range should serve. Best to you.

I’ve traded options with Fidelity, Public and IBKR. Limit orders work like Limit Orders in each, of course, ie, none will fill above your buy limit or below your sell limit. But, in my experience anyway, Fidelity always fills the whole order at once and very rarely at a better price than the Limit entered in the order. Public is similar, though marginally better. IBKR, however, allows you to let its system find the best available price for each of the contracts ordered, which is ultimately more profitable. For example, a $2 sell limit order on Fidelity for 10 contracts will render $2k in cash before fees and commissions. The same order in IBKR might have 5 contracts close at $2 but have, say, 2 at $2.05, 2 at $2.10, and 1 at $2.15. In that scenario, IBKR kicks out $2045 cash. That $45 difference over Fidelity adds up over multiple trades, especially when you consider the benefit is on the sell order as well as the buy-to-close one.

It's not shown in the screenshot, but it was a small yellow icon in IBKR that when hovered said "Option Excercised". As of right now, the options are still in my account. So I don't know if usually they get handled at market open given it's the weekend, or what, but yeah. I don't have 100 shares and it's a PMCC so if they had to liquidate I'm guessing it would be the LEAPS if forced to, right?

Isn't the common advice to never exercise your LEAPS, and instead sell it to capture the extrinsic? My understanding is that IBKR will deliver the shares to the counterparty, and you'll be short the 100 shares. You then sell the LEAPS, and buy the shares, and keep the difference. I haven't actually gone through this yet, so happy to hear from someone more experienced...

Been on IBKR since 2007 and it's been great. As my account has grown it's gotten better, higher interest paid, the stock yield enhancement program is also a nice little extra. The fills seem good to me, and their options tool do everything I want. Fidelity has been good for my retirement accounts though as I'm much more passive. I really appreciate all the tools they provide to easily roll over other accounts(old IRAs and HSAs), it was so easy to fill out a web form and have them handle the rest.

Mentions:#IBKR

IBKR has adaptive which has saved my ass time and time again with lower prices. Example Friday I had a limit buy order for 0dte NDX put option for $25.80. I got filled at $25.20. Which made a huge difference because I was then able to leg into a spread and flatten the delta when I bought call spreads. Only made $60 profit but that’s because I saved $0.60 from IBKR algorithm. Robinhood screws you on price. Also IBKR has a lot of international stuff you can trade. E*trade has god aweful UI and is terrible for fast moving markets and day trading imo. To set up a trade takes way too long and they don’t have sequential order placements like IBKR and Thinkorswim do.

Mentions:#IBKR

yes that but in the image why it says "Sell Call" instead of "Buy call"? In IBKR is Buy call.

Thank you for the reply. Your comments here and elsewhere are very informative! I haven't talked to a human customer service rep yet, but I do think I figured out what's going on. IBKR includes Covered Put in strategies allowed under Level 2, however, they define Covered Put differently in different places. [Here](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/glossary-terms/covered-put-2/) they define it as: > An option strategy in which a put option is written against a sufficient amount of cash (or Treasury bills) to pay for the stock purchase if the short option is assigned. But in [elsewhere](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/trading-lessons/bear-market-covered-put/) they describe it as: > A covered put would be considered by someone who would like to derive additional income from a short stock position. This is what they seem to be referring to by Covered Put in Options Level 2. I don't have a link, but IBKR's chatbot also backs this up by saying that even when there is sufficient cash in the account, IBKR still considers selling a put as an uncovered options strategy and therefore requires Options Level 3 permissions. As to the example, I used the last available bid price for both (it was after market close). But I looked again during market hours, and I still saw some difference in max return depending on the expiration and strike price. Sometimes it was almost exactly the same, other times it was quite different. I saw this for other tickers as well. As for the risks between the two strategies, if the underlying doesn't pay a dividend, I assume that particular risk be safely ignored? Sorry for the long reply!

Mentions:#IBKR

I feel that there's no benefit to IBKR other than low margin rates and access to international stocks (which you still need to independently qualify and sign up for.) Their UI is atrocious for simply understanding how much cash I actually have due to their insistence on showing time period-based data with no UI for simply what's in my account "right now". And I'm not sure I ever understood how they calculate Buying Power because a lot of time i get hit with not enough funds and show entirely different numbers that i can't simply eyeball and understand where it came from, numbers that I felt like should've been on the order ticket, not AFTER i submit.

Mehh I just use margin and my buying power. When assigned, I sell cc’s and or put’s to correct tje negative cash balance to zero or positive again. The interest on the borrowed money is so low I overcome this easily with options selling. For example, I borrowed 40k now from IBKR and pay $6 a day in interest (around 4-5%). I then sell $4k wort of options each month and also deposit funds on a regular basis. All my cash is deployed in holding stocks, which return >> cash

IBKR doesn’t issue margin calls they will give you a margin violation notice and will liquidate your positions.

Mentions:#IBKR

I wanted to sell CSPs on IBKR, but I only have permissions for Options Level 2, and apparently you need Level 3. It's my understanding that selling ITM CCs at the same strike as an OTM CSP is essentially the same. However, I noticed that the max return for the CSP vs the max return for the ITM CC is very close but not the same. For example, 1 ASTS Sep 19'25 36 CC (Delta 0.733) has a max return of 73, whereas the Sep 19'25 36 Put (Delta -0.267) has a max return of 77. Will there always be a slight difference between the max return for ITM CCs and OTM CSPs at the same strike? What causes the difference? Thanks!

Im not sure what you're asking exactly... Webull, IBKR, Think or Swim (Schwab), all free, great entry platforms with tools and charting that offer education and paper trading as well.

Mentions:#IBKR

If you *have* to borrow, then yes, a box spread is basically just a loan wrapped in options. And if the implied rate is cheaper than your broker’s margin loan, it can make sense in theory. But still, box spreads tie up capital and margin. If something breaks in execution or liquidity, you’re the one eating it. Also brokers don’t always margin them cleanly, so your cheap loan might not stay cheap. Honestly, tnterest rates at IBKR are already competitive. You’re probably saving basis points, not whole percentage points. If your goal is funding living expenses, again simplicity usually beats engineering. Margin loans are transparent and predictable; boxes are not. Use the tool that leaves fewer surprises because you probably hhave enough moving parts in your trading already.

Mentions:#IBKR

If you’re selling cash-secured puts, that cash is your collateral. You need it available the moment you’re assigned. If you stick it in SGOV (or anything else), you’ll have to provide margin quickly to cover assignment; and there’s always the risk of bad timing or settlement delays. That’s why most people just leave the cash in the brokerage “ready to deploy.” Think of it this way: CSP collateral isn’t idle cash, it’s margin. Keep it liquid. Also, I think IBKR pays you decent for the cash on your account these days.

Mentions:#SGOV#IBKR

You don’t need a boxed spread to pay your mortgage but a saving account with interest. Box spreads are basically synthetic loans. They work, but they’re clunky, fee-laden, and prone to broker quirks. Pros use them when the rates are mispriced, not to pay the electric bill. If your goal is everyday liquidity, the edge isn’t there. Just keep the bank for groceries and save the boxes for when the arb actually makes sense. I think IBKR pays you fairly well these days for just holding deposit there. Simplicity often beats smart...

Mentions:#IBKR

I think they rebalance more frequently than quarterly. IBKR was included two weeks ago and last Friday they announced HOOD and APP.

Ok good cash in my brokerage account is generally used as security for selling puts. SGOV should be basically equal to cash in portfolio margin I think on IBKR. There are actually complex tools on IBKR for running scenarios. Talk with CHAT gpt about it... Chat has a pretty good understanding of IBKRs inner workings, and can help you through it. I've figured out a lot of good strategies recently, it all involves options, reducing risk, and increasing leverage. Did you apply for PM yet?

you can apply for portfolio margin, which will give you access to more leverage. You will need options level 3 for CSP on IBKR FYI.

Mentions:#IBKR

IBKR will get you good fills (i've seen some posts recently about how bad the fills are on tasty), you will need options level 3 to sell naked put (even CSP) I got it the second time I applied after 1 year of options trading on the platform, and on other platforms. I also told them I wanted to transfer my account in, but needed options level 3 approval before I would transfer my account... what do you know I had options level 3 in a couple days.

If Robinhood’s not an option, I’d go with either IBKR or Tastytrade. The rest (Webull, MooMoo, etc.) are trash for serious options. TOS has solid tools but the interface is clunky and outdated. IBKR gives you all the data you could ever want, but boy is it complex. Tastytrade offers nearly the same depth with a cleaner UI and a strong options community behind it. Also worth checking out [Option Buddy](https://optionbuddy.ai/) it’s a new tool being built to break down your portfolio risk in plain English and simplify all the numbers traders usually struggle with esp multi leg strats.

Charles Schwab charges a Stock Borrow Fee, or rate, to borrow shares of OPEN for short selling, not a margin interest rate on a loan. This fee is a variable rate determined daily by the supply and demand for OPEN shares in the market, and it is applied to the total market value of your short position. You can find the specific fee by checking your account or the Schwab website, as rates change daily. In IBKR the annual borrow rate for OPEN shares right now is 5.4% with the range in the past 30 days 4.99% - 7.11%

Yes, it works, but if you ever need to withdraw it is disadvantageous -- the bonus gets clawed back. For example you deposit $1M and get a 3% bonus, then deposit a new $100k with no bonus 3 years later, you can't get that $100k back out without losing part of the original bonus (depending on the value of your portfolio). In short, I transferred everything I could hold for 5 years, but all new money goes into IBKR in case I need to withdraw it. But they paid out the full 3% as stated.

I did something similar. Yeah, their bonuses are fantastic and real. You do get the bonus right away but as you stated they have a 5-year claw back.

This is an amazing comment and insight. I never thought about the stock exchanges themselves. I just looked up Intercontinental Exchange but I don't know many stocks like this. IBKR indeed seems really well positioned for retail penetration outside of the US. The stock seems to have a crazy run the past year and now the valuation is rather expensive, but this is worth a closer look. I have no clues who will have US retail investors' loyalty.

Really like the way you’re thinking about this! You’ve connected your own habits to a bigger trend. Brokers like IBKR and Coinbase are obvious plays, but the real winners will be those that build trust and keep Gen Z investors engaged for decades, not just offer the lowest fees. Outside the US, retail penetration is still low, so global platforms that bring both access and education have a long runway. And don’t forget the indirect beneficiaries - exchanges, payment platforms, even financial media all gain when more people invest. Long term, it’s less about trading costs and more about who creates stickiness and loyalty.

RH as a platform is hot garbage. Webull is a MUCH better option. I think in time it will definitely steal customers from RH. Features wise, other than the fact that it does not allow tax lot selling and keeps 85% of the revenue share for share lending, it’s the best choice out there when you compare various brokerages. My overall pick though is IBKR. Webull is a newer company so has young company growing pains, but I can see its stock going much higher than it is now, especially in this regarded market that pays no attention to actual valuation. I’m holding one lot at 11 for long term growth, and have been putting away solid money swing trading it.

Anecdotally I started before the covid crash happened, the crash motivated me to buy even more. Also anecdotally, the part that you mentioned about investing being made easier is also true. Back in 2021, IBKR demanded that you deposited at least $4,000 and the application process was brutal, plus $10 a month subscription fee. I recently helped my friend sign up for IBKR this year and they asked for way less documents and no upfront deposits needed at all. They also got rid of $10 fee a long while ago.

Thinkorswim has a paper money account that I believe is free for everyone. (It for sure is for Schwab customers, but I’m pretty sure anyone can do it). IBKR also offers papermoney and so does WeBull.
