Hello Johnsto1! Unlike other "online" brokers that send your order through an e-mail-type system, Interactive Brokers offers a direct- access order entry system -- the Trader Workstation -- that transmits your stock, options or futures orders directly to an exchange or ECN, usually within one second of entry. And with the release of the latest version of the Trader Workstation, Interactive Brokers customers need only log into their accounts and activate the browser-based Trader Workstation software in order to trade. There is no cumbersome software to download and install, and customers can access their account from any PC with a Java-enabled internet browser, not just their own machine. This brokerage is one of the cheapest commissions I have come across. Although, I suspect you need to purchase their "workstation" software in order to operate thru their system. Therefore, this is only for the heavy hitters with large contracts to move. That is most likely how they make their money. Note! I don't have any information on how well their customer support levels or service. DIRECT ACCESS OPTIONS TRADERS 209.15.73.188
