It is amazing and cheap and easy, once you get your head around things.
It's not perfect, but at $USD 1 minimum per trade it saves heaps from the ASB $USD 90 minimum per trade.
If you want to set up an account PM me and I'll give you a link where we both get a benefit (me $200 and you up to $1000 after a year, but there are conditions. the biggest of which is a minimum $USD 10,000 balance and you need $USD 100k for a year to get the whole $1000.)
for the kids I use Hatch. they didn't have the minimum required to open an IB account at the time (although that has gone now I think).
Hatch is also cheap and easy to use.
it's not that clever (few features), but it doesn't need to be.
