What firms have the cheapest commissions for day trading?

I'm an experienced trader (new to ET) who has a sound methodology, but my commissions are killing me. I'm paying .004/share plus the ECN fees of taking liquidity of .003/share. I.e. it costs me $14 for one round turn trade of 1000 shares.

Is it true that Chimera charges .001/share?

Are there any firms that are less expensive than that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Any and all Canadian firms.

The standard being 0.20 / 1000 shares, or 0.0002.

 

Can I trade with a Canadian firm if I'm an American?

What about trading with them and trading remotely from the U.S.?

 

What level of month volume to you average?

 

Global Market Trading is good.

 

Can you give me the names of a couple good Canadian Firms that would change $0.20/1,000 shares.

Is this net, or you get a liquidity credit/debit, if you add/remove.

Any idea wy Canadian firms can be so much less expensive.

@rmorse: Anywhere from 500,000 to 1M a month.
