My account was down by 1% each month due to their “custodian fee.” Add this 1% to the pricey monthly fee on inactive accounts, and the result is a considerable amount spent solely on account maintenance, without even getting into actual trading.

And, believe me, I'm not saying it just for the sake of saying it. I mean, what goes in their mind when they expect someone to shell out a whopping $25,000 for a so-called "Premium" account? I mean, come on, I'm not an idiot to jump right into it without giving it a real thought. I took my money and ran. Well, figuratively speaking of course. I found myself another broker, one who values me and my money. IST Markets, sorry-not-sorry, but you have been officially ditched. Now they can go and sell their crazy deals to someone else because this guy is out.
