    I have a question for those that know... I have been using TD Ameritrade for sometime now. They have great customer service and I feel that they do always get good prices on by and sells for all other orders but market. Their commissions have never bothered me.

    However, I have recently discovered that Ameritrade, along with most of the other big firms put a damper on the hours they permit trading compared to the hours that exchanges such as ARCA are open.

    1.) Does anyone know the reason for this, they by far not the only one?
    2.) Can anyone recommend to me a reliable 24/7 broker for day trading.

    Also, I have become accustomed to the CC 2.0 platform that Ameritrade offers, who makes a comparable platform.

    Do not hesitate to respond, the more recommendations, the more less limited my options are.

    Thanks,
