    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interactive Brokers&lt;/em&gt; is the &lt;strong&gt;largest broker&lt;/strong&gt;in the&lt;strong&gt;United States&lt;/strong&gt;, based on the volume of average daily transactions with profit. &lt;em&gt;Interactive Brokers&lt;/em&gt;is a &lt;strong&gt;leading electronic Forex broker&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;img src="/file/110267/Interactive-brokers.jpg" alt="Interactive-brokers.jpg" /&gt;
Electronic brokers are focused on trading strategies or trading robots that work in the sector of trading with commodities [nerd], this allows us to say that this broker is among the &lt;strong&gt;five Prime brokers&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;em&gt;Interactive Brokers&lt;/em&gt; is fully&lt;strong&gt;regulated&lt;/strong&gt;by the financial industry Regulatory authority, the securities and exchange Commission, the new York stock exchange, the financial conduct Authority, and other self-regulatory organizations.
To get the data, use the&lt;em&gt;API&lt;/em&gt; connection via the &lt;em&gt;IB TWS&lt;/em&gt; terminal.
&lt;img src="/file/110268/Interactive-brokers-API.jpg" alt="Interactive-brokers-API.jpg" /&gt;
To work with this program, &lt;em&gt;StockSharp&lt;/em&gt; has created its own &lt;a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/"&gt;API library&lt;/a&gt;, which allows you to create your own connection.
What can this give the trader? There are several &lt;strong&gt;advantages&lt;/strong&gt;:
*-The fastest quotes
-The average receiving speed is 4 MS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with real and demo accounts*
Accordingly, the use of &lt;em&gt;Interactive Brokers&lt;/em&gt; with the help of &lt;a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/"&gt;API libraries&lt;/a&gt; opens up new opportunities for the trader, allowing him to &lt;strong&gt;expand the expansion of his trading operations&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
