on the west coast, supply and demand seems to have driven ticket costs to under $5 per 1000 shares inlcuding ecns. the firms providing those rates won't even approach the topic here on the east coast. i do 200-300K shares a day. let me know if some one has gotten the jamokes that own these firms to crack that barrier here on the east coast.
i would rather sell hot chocolate at the beach than trade stocks under $5 trying to make my liq rebate. i don't get that strategy or those firms. i am talking about hold brothers and andover duking it out for exerienced traders. on the west coast.
