I had to read and re-read the email three times. I then found some confirming tweets: IB is indeed removing the $10 monthly inactivity fee it was charging its poor (with less than $100k balance) clients. In 25 years of trading and countless platforms used, I can count on a Read more…
or…The Italian Leather Sofa for the community. Commenting a recent post, Luca suggested me to have a look at The Everest Formula website and…why not!
