    I trade remote(from bedroom) for 5$ a trade(unlimited i think-at least up to 3000 shares which is what i have traded on a single ticket).My broker is TD izone!!!....they are the secret discount side of ameritrade-really cheap...I dont like their platform so i use
    quotetracker which is fine for me and is free if you have a td account.I rarely have problems.I dont use many of the tools provided by td izone but they give you level 2 and a bunch of other stuff.Whats really good is that i get real time NYSE tick!!!!(actually updates every 10 secs)...$TICK....Thank god i have my tick back!

    I was looking at some fancy prop place and their rates were like 4 or 5$ per thousand shares then you had to pay 100/month for remote priviledges,about 30/month for exchange fees...a bunch of other fees also...it was ridiculous...Im not a fancy mega chart guy so this setup is great for me.

    edit:the margin is only 2-1 overnight,4-1 intraday....however too much margin is a very seductive,dangerous thing you know!

    If you do volume, anything is negotiable, whether remote or in the office. Check your monthly volume and see whether or not you are ready to push the issue and negotiate a better deal. (As a reference, unless yu are doing 500k to 1MM, you don't have much of a bargaining position to deal from.)

    ditto... don't know why more don't check out iZone. I'm extremely happy with fills at 5 bucks a pop. I too use QT as my platform with no problems for over a year now.
