Interactive Brokers, mapped out for real people

Whether you type interactive brokers login, interactive broker or just IBKR, you are after the same firm. We explain how it is built, where each door leads and what to check first.

01 / Overview

A broker built from the trading floor outward

Interactive Brokers grew out of electronic market-making, and it shows. The software exposes routing choices, order conditions and currencies that simpler apps keep out of sight. That depth is the draw for experienced users and the hurdle for first-timers.

1

One account

Stocks, options, futures, funds and currency can live under one login, depending on your country and permissions.

2

Many venues

Orders can reach exchanges in different regions, so you are not limited to a single home market.

3

Several tools

A browser portal, a full terminal, phone apps and an API cover casual and advanced styles alike.

02 / Paths

Four searches, four different needs
