    On the retail side, Fidelity's Luminex is unbeatable. Midcap to Largecap.

    The value equation is in rounding the block. We think of liquidity as price going out.

    yup, IB commission significantly reduced from ~70$ to ~10$, but need to check on any other ECN charges in daily activity statement, EOD. Have not tried MEMX yet. Will update you, thanks a lot though!

    Sorting AMD cost me $34.46, but covering cost was $0.67..still much better than what I was paying before.
