This guy is amazing and his company allowed so many people to make money. He also contributed to the lowering of trading fees down to pennies, which was not good if you were a broker.

True, but I can't open an account with IBKR for the life of me. I've tried 4 times already. They won't even tell me why. Does anyone know of a way around this?

Are you sure you are not on world check or similar? You could setup a cheap llc and open the account with it.

You might try with a different branch (in Europe Ireland, UK, Luxembourg, Hungary) or with a white label partner:

Great interview, thanks for sharing. The autobiography of Charles Schwab is also worth reading.
