I’ve been using IBKR as my broker and they are completely fine for ETFs, but my experience with them trading bonds has been horrible. When I put my limit order above offer levels, I still don’t get filled for hours. The levels they show are often frozen (bid/offer). I see the bonds trading on the screen, but they just don’t get me done.
I read some stuff about their bond trading going through a third party (apparently UBS), who just fills you if they like the risk, regard less of market liquidity.
So my question is, does anyone have any advice on better brokers to trade bonds? I am UK based.
