- Make deposits and withdrawals in the currency of your choice from among those supported: Euro, Dollar, Swiss Franc, Pound Sterling, etc.
- Gains made in other currencies will remain in the currency in which they were made instead of being forcibly converted into your account's base currency. This allows you to save fees by consolidating your conversions.
Fractional shares
Fractional shares let you invest in a portion of a stock, making it easier to access high-priced shares.
You can invest the exact amount you want, making it easier to diversify your portfolio even with limited capital.
Smart Routing
for better execution
Most stocks can be traded on several exchanges. At any given moment, the price of the same stock may differ from one exchange to another.
With Smart Routing, your orders are automatically sent to the exchange offering the best execution conditions at that moment.
To determine the exchange destination of an order, Interactive Brokers' smart routing takes into account several factors such as: the best bid or ask price, speed, probability of execution, size and type of your order, and execution costs.
Note that you can also disable Smart Routing if you prefer your orders to be sent only to the stock's primary exchange.

One thing that cannot be emphasized enough: ProRealTime works “server-side.” This means that your orders are actually stored on ProRealTime's servers and NOT on your PC. This contrasts with many other charting/trading tools that run on your PC, which is of paramount importance with automatic trading. Your trades will not be compromised if your PC crashes or you experience an Internet outage.
