Are there any decent retail brokers with order pricing somewhere in between IB and say Scott/Ameritrade? (I can't use IB any more and I was hoping to find someone with lower commissions than Scott and Ameritrade.
Tradestation is .0012 cents per share up to 2500, then .005 cents for 2501+ shares in the same trade - this does include all ECN fees - Paul
-Wrong info- It's actually 1.2 cents per share up to 1500, then .75 cents for 1501+ http://www.tradestation.com/fees/default.shtm Tony
Just my .02 worth - major slippage, not direct access, very poor streaming quotes (java based crap) but their clearing and customer service is great. Every time I've ever called them I get a knowledgeable rep within a few rings - no getting put on hold - a good broker for swing trades or buy n hold but definitely not for daytrading I keep our IRA's there (no fees and no inactivity fee) Paul
Thanks for the info on Scotrade. I am debating between them, Ameritrade and Brown & Co. (I don't think I can afford the other.) I'm a swing trader so that's good to know.
My work uses a proxy server and TWS will not work with it nor do they have any work-around. I'm already signing up with Brown. My brother-in-law has had good luck with them and they're only $5/trade which beats both Ameritrade and Scotrade.
