I have been a short term trader for several years and now wold like to start day trading. I have been looking around at alot of brokers and I have decided to use Interactive Brokers. Is this a good firm to use for day trading?? I have also came across QuoteTracker and would like to know if these two are a good combo?? Your help would be great!!
although the name is a little funky, check out the guys above you...Great platform and great commissions....but I am very bias towards them

...consider looking into E-Signal, as well, especially if you want to back test. ES and IB is the combo I use. You planning to DT stocks or futures?
Actually it's a nice add on service for foreigner living in Asia and europe, as it is not economy for them to call their brokers over the phone everyday. I couldn't find your ICQ or MSN address on your site? what your chat ID address?

IB is certainly the cheapest to trade with. If there is any other on-line broker that can compete with their rates, it would be interesting to know. IB's minimum is $30 monthly, but if you make 6 trades a week, that covers it. There are other costs imposed by other brokers that IB does not charge and that is a big savings if you are holding options to assignment.
