Jean-Pierre, I happened to see your post and couldn't help but chime in. I have experience with both Speedtrader and IB and there is no comparison in my opinion. IB is far superior in customer service and short inventory.

I have been in one other community and I can say that while I left because their trading style did not align with how I wanted to develop as a trader, it was a relief to leave an environment that was very degrading to females. The BBT community is the gold standard for respect of members and focus on learning to trade in a sustainable way. I am so happy to be here. My one wish is a structured way to identify another trader who would like to be my "buddy". I noticed on the forum that a couple of small groups formed so I think there may be others who would like something similar. Some kind of filtering system to identify things like: time zone, trading experience, trading style, preferred frequency and method of communication, areas of trading that one would like support with, etc. That way instead of just posting a "want ad" in the forum, it would be possible to actually connect with someone of like style and experience who has similar expectations.
