I would not trust them.
Im editing my review so it includes my honest opinion. I feel as though something less than honest is going on here. They do not keep records of trade executions that include time stamps, excess margin, acct balances, excess liquidation, etc. As is required by all FCM's per CFTC and NFA. The daily statement does not include times that the trades took place. To make matters worse, you are given inaccurate trading prices quite frequently, candles are omitted, there ARE account minimums, you will be auto-liquidated based on these inaccurate trading prices. I have done my due diligence and these have been issues that have been going on for a couple years from what I can tell. They'll respond if they respond by stating that 'your data appears to be fine on our end.' What to look for? When your mouse cursor is not in line or is out of sync with your indicators. Their commissions are 4-40x's what other FCM's are in some cases.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nano Bitcoin Average Commission: $0.05 per contract
IronBeam Charges: $2 PER CONTRACT ( after nfa, clearing, and other fees $2.75 per contract)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Micro Contracts Average: $0.09 per contract
IronBeam Charges: $0.99 PER CONTRACT (after nfa, clearing, and other fees $2 per contract)
-------------------------------------------------------
I have just sent them an email asking if they can waive the $40 withdrawal fee so I can close my account. I will update with the results.
update: still have not waived $40 fee.
9 or 10 days went by without a response as to whether or not they would waive the $40 fee. They completely ignored the request. After initiating the withdrawal via wire transfer they then offered to send a check free of charge. I mean this and I am not over exaggerating but I honestly did not feel comfortable accepting a check from them.
If you opt to open an account with IronBeam and you experience unexpected liquidations, misaligned cursor on your charts, unequal spacing between the time markers on the lower axis of your chart, inaccurate market pricing that adversely affects your p/l mid trade, candles being minutes, tens of minutes even hours behind while some or all of your indicators are still rendering, it is not a glitch, it is not lag, it is not you needing to clear your cache, restart your computer or otherwise. Dont allow yourself to get taken advantage of. They are required to keep records of trade executions that include time stamps and dates so you can reconstruct your trades incase the need arises to dispute anything. If something is out of place, take a screen shot, if you can, screen record your entire trading session so you have your own records to review.
They waived the $40 withdrawal fee!. Now if theyll give me my trade executions Ill be happy to leave this sorry excuse for a broker behind me.

Thank you for the extended review. A few of the specific claims here are inaccurate and worth correcting directly, since other readers may rely on this information when comparing brokers.
On commissions: Ironbeam's micro futures commission is 39 cents per contract under standard published rates, not 99 cents as stated, and nano contracts like Nano Bitcoin are priced at 25 cents per contract, not $2. Exchange, clearing, and NFA fees are separate line items disclosed on our public fee schedule and apply industry-wide regardless of broker, they are not an added markup unique to Ironbeam.
On recordkeeping and execution data: as a CFTC-registered FCM and NFA member, Ironbeam maintains full trade execution records, including timestamps, and these are available to clients through their account statements and upon request from our support team. If there was ever a specific instance where requested trade data wasn't provided, that is best resolved directly with our team using the relevant account and date details rather than through a general claim of noncompliance.
On the withdrawal fee: the $40 domestic wire fee is a standard, published charge listed on our fee schedule, not something specific to this account, and it was ultimately waived as a courtesy.
We take reports of pricing data or chart display issues seriously and encourage anyone experiencing that to send specifics to our support team so it can be properly investigated.

I have Ironbeam and Webull platforms to…
I have Ironbeam and Webull platforms to compare...i always go through the platforms before funding...after exploring Iron Beam..I find it above average. But I will however not fund the account for now, the platform is lacking the necessary drawing tools that I must have. I think they still have quite some work to make it more trader friendly. Forexample instead of deleting an indicator..just make it possible to make it invisible at a click...an eye icon..Simplicity in any trading platform is number 1 for me. For now I choose Webull.

Hey Peter,
Thanks for taking the time to explore the Ironbeam platform and share your feedback. We really appreciate it.
We’re glad to hear you found the platform above average, and we understand how important intuitive charting tools and features like indicator visibility are for your trading workflow. While there is currently a trash can icon to delete indicators, we agree that being able to simply toggle visibility (like with an eye icon) would be a nice improvement, and we’ve passed that suggestion along to our dev team.
We're actively working to make the platform more trader-friendly, and updates are released regularly based on feedback just like yours.
If you ever decide to take another look or want to test new features as they roll out, we’d be happy to set you up with a demo or keep you in the loop.

Awesome support
So far everything runs well and does its job. The charting is OK, and I do place some manual trades, but I mainly use the API for my trading.. no issues there either. In fact, the support I got while setting things up was fantastic. Very happy with Ironbeam
