    What is the goal, to avoid DT requirements?

    You can trade some via spot but the spread is ridiculous so can't day trade anyway.

    Your best bet is switch to Forex / Futures and trade exchange rates or index's if you want to day trade. ( forex being cheapest way in, only FXCM seems to be a real broker be warned )

    DT Rules SUCK, ruined my very profitable trading a long long long time ago.

    We don't offer them but there are single stock futures and CFD. I'm going to agree with Turveyd. If I had under $25K to trade, I'd focus on futures.

    Don't mean to hijack but do you have any broker recommendations? IB requires something like 50k if inexperienced.

    10k to open an account at IB. You only have to have 2k to maintain the account after opening.
