    If you are a retail customer (not prop) and scalp stocks or trade short and quick intraday moves, and make over $25K per year scalping, which direct access deep discount retail broker do you use for scalping?

    The selections on a poll are limited to ten, so if some are not included above, please post who you use.

    Thanks for your participation.

    I inadvertently left out MB Trading. I have asked the moderator to amend the poll to include them.

    Most people on this site use IB, so the poll is meaningless.

    Ok Volume, I am beginning to see that most of the users here apparently use IB as you say. I also can't imagine using IB alone without at least a front end user interface for scalping.

    I have never used IB, so I can't comment on their platform.

    I have used Cybertrader, Watcher, Redi+, Mandrill, Bulldog, and Hammer. Redi+ is a joke....Cyber was slow....Mandrill and Bulldog are no longer around...Hammer is very good (Anvil is supposed to be even better, but I have only been on demo).

    Thanks, I have heard of Anvil but didn't find the retail brokerage that uses this platform. To date I have only found one retail brokerage who supplies Hammer and that is Assent. The rest of the Hammer users I found were all prop shops.
