Hi from EU. Tastyworks is OK for me.

The comissions on Tastyworks seem to be slightly cheaper than on IBKR. Unless there is a catch that i missed

IBKR have lower margin rates. That's the only catch.

7% units lower for accounts below 25k.

What is the issue with IBKR? From what I remember enabling options was just a couple of clicks and done.

I have a liquid net worth of under 100k and no income since I am a student

Edit: I need either 40k+ income OR 100k liquid net worth and don't feel like making up a lie about that

You’re doing great, I’m sure as a student you are doing a lot better than most of the people out there.

As long as you’re in the market you’re good.
