Iowa Grain Co.?
Has anyone ever used Iowa Grain Co.? I've been with Refco(before the debacle!), Farr Financial,and Man Financial(now MF Global). Very dissappointed with all brokers services, from ordering platforms to customer service, even always seemed to get the worst of the fill on market orders with all three. My two finalists are Iowa Grain Co. and RJO Futures. I do like the idea of Interactive Brokers being a one stop shop for futures, stocks and options,but i 've been with TD Ameritrade for years and have no complaints with them. So, i'm just looking to see if Iowa or RJO's platforms are easy to navigate, and how is their execution. I've been out of trading for a couple years so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I primarily traded grains, softs, meats and interest rates.Thank You

I suggest that you may want to trade solely electronically. Once I started trading electronically, I stopped getting what I thought were 'bad fills". My guess is that there is not much difference in any of the platforms as far as fills are concerned, but I could be way wrong on this. I do believe, however, that my fills are hardly ever the reason for my success or failure in trading. In brief, Iowa Grain is as good or as bad as any of them.
