That said Swissquote appears to be OK for folks who manage a simple portfolio and never trade . I think they are good if you are a bond investor. For stocks, I wasn't sure if they offered a ticket fee or if it was a percentage of the trade value , percentage commissions are ripoffs. I just checked and it's a tier system and it's still extremely expensive. You just can't trade with that price structure or you are giving away money to the broker. I wouldn' t recommend IB to regular investor. But Boursorama is worth checking out as well for those.
