Client equity totalled $928.6 billion, an increase of 19% year-on-year but a decline of 4% month-on-month. Client margin loan balances rose 31% annually and 2% from September to $106.8 billion.

Client credit balances, including insured bank deposit sweeps, stood at $180.5 billion, up 15% year-on-year but down 3% month-on-month. Insured bank deposit sweeps accounted for $6.2 billion of the total.

The broker reported 163 annualised average cleared DARTs per client account. Average commission per cleared commissionable order was $2.46, including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees.

Client Equity Falls 4% Monthly

In September, Interactive Brokers reported 5.6 million client accounts, $964.7 billion in client equity and approximately 4.1 million DARTs. Trading activity increased 6% year-on-year in September, while DARTs fell 4% from August.

October's figures show continued growth in client accounts and margin loans, while client equity and credit balances declined from the previous month.

Interactive Brokers also reported execution costs for IBKR PRO clients trading US-regulated stocks. The average US Regulation National Market System stock trade was valued at $23,670 in October.

The feature allows clients to set trading instructions and risk limits without approving each order individually.
