Cheapest for removing liquidity: Tape A, NYSE stocks - DirectEdge RDOT route = .0018 to remove liquidity (this route typically gets filled 10% of the time on EDGA which is free, so real rate is .00126) Tape C, Nasdaq stocks - BATS = .0025 to remove liquidity and .0026 for routing out...

There used to be a really good Pair Trading order management software that did what the OP was asking for called Happy Trader. Weird name I know, but I haven't seen the softwre in a while so I am not sure if they are still around. But if they are then definitely take a look at it.

If all you need is Equities Level I data then I would recommend Worldwatch SSL at http://www.marketfeed.com/internet.htm you get Quotetracker and Level I quotes along with the Arca Book for only $20 a month plus another $3 for exchange fees.

I am not 100% sure, but I am pretty sure Sterling does have a big bid or offer filter. But as someone else said you can get that from Trade Ides which can be connected to Sterling. Or there are other stock screeners similar to trade Ideas that offer it.

Yes you can click on a bid or offer and join that price instead of taken it. And you don't have to use the same route that the quote is for. Sterling is very customizable, but you have to take the time to go through it and learn what can be done. Or you can just call Sterling and ask them...

Is this firm setup just like Tuco?? Those guys have been waiting like 2 years just to get 50% of their money back from Tuco! Please stay away from this type of setup!!

The OP and other higher volume traders should take a look at www.efficientexecutions.com over IB. For someone like DeeDeeTwo who trades 4 million shares a month: IB costs .001988 per share or $7,950 per month on 4 million shares Efficient Executions costs .001275 per share or $3,100 per...

I don't understand what you are talking about? What do you mean by bar?

But wait if you do 5 million shares but only make $8k then you didn't meet the $11k minimum so you would only get the 75% payout not the 90%? Payout: 50/50 Rate: .20 cents per 1000 shares Minimum volume req: 500,000 Minimum gross req: $2,600 (min vol and gross combined) Does this...

I don't know what you mean by this? Do you mean if there is a quote a penny better than what you were trying to get, you get filled at the better quote? Are you complaining about getting better fills? You would pay an extra .002 in fees in order to save .01 in execution price. Edge firsts...

That guy Baker is in idiot. He thinks speculators and daytraders cause more volatility, when in reality the opposite is true. The reason speculation is allowed in futures is to increase liquidity to shrink the bid and ask spread and to smooth out voalitility. If there weren't speculators then...

Try taking a look at Realtick. They aren't a broker but they are a third party execution software that alot of brokers allow customers to use. I know their options add-on Turbo Options allows legs.

If you are willing to entrust your money with Alliance Trader, then why not just put your money with one of the retail prop llc's? I can't imagine that your money is any safer with Alliance Trader than with these retail prop llc's. They will give you more leverge and lower commissions.
