What is a beta release, and how can I use it?

The beta release is a pre-production version of an upcoming release that allows you to actively trade while you test new features. You must deliberately elect to use the beta at your own risk when you log in. Since the beta is under construction until production release, we welcome your input on its performance. The beta will be promoted to production after it has been tested both in-house and externally over a specified time period. NOTE: Although the software is "in beta," you are still trading your IBKR account and are responsible for all transactions.
