Link with other brokers: Fidelity, TDAmeritrade, other

First of all let me say that I despise IB. They have the worst customer support known to man, and their trading platform is ridiculously bad. However, they do have trading algorithms (VWAP) and if you want that, they are the only game in town if using P123. When dealing with lots of low liquidity trades across multiple accounts (I think I have 7: iras, seps, kid accounts, etc) that need rebalanced at least once a week, VWAP will save you a lot of time.

I have since become even more frustrated with IB, if such a thing is possible. So I have been exploring Tradier. IB may be fine if you have a single straight forward brokerage account. I recently discovered that Tradier uses various types of limit orders that might be a good replacement for IB’s trading algos (see attachment). The Midpoint NBBO limit looks promising.
I’m experimenting with it now. I’ll know more in a week two. If it pans out, I’ll probably move several, if not all, my accounts to Tradier.
As a side note, If you do a lot of Options, the Tradier / Trader Oasis combo is definitely the way to go.
