One more thing I can share with you is that most ofcorporate bonds traded without commission, but ifyou buy it through IB, you pay commission.I have bought a corporate bond 102.413 yield=1.182%after commission price=102.513 yield=0.98%.FINRA TRACE show the traded record in a latter way.It made me feel bad at that time.It seemed that the trading cost at IB isbid/ask spread + commissionSomeone said that IB have commission but the spreadis smaller. I doubt it.

Thanks for sharing. Actually I noticed that IBcharge for bond trading when I did paper trading.However, I do not have other oversea brokers.I shallstill trade with IB cuz I am lazy to open anotheraccount XD.. I've never compared the spread betweenIB and other brokers but I am so surprised thattheir commission has decreased your bond yieldsharply. I guess it would be better to trade shortterm debt and lower coupon rate bond with otherbrokers. So the yield won't be influenced that much.
