im not going to adjust my trading to fit IBs platform. looking for better fills overall. IB is definitely good which is why ive been with them. i think its just time to move on, too many things have been building up over there. i want out. they offer everything which is great. but im really...

haha oldtime - i am looking to leave IB - not a fan of the executions ive been getting lately or the platform itself. looking for some additional configuration. plus all service issues are a hassle.

no im not. im trying to find a new broker. who do you trade with? trying to see what platform everyone uses. hurricane never mentioned who he uses just knocked my efforts here. if im off in my initial search and you have a different broker i should check out please let me know as i dont like to...

hurricane - ive been with IB for years. have never really looked elsewhere until recently, so was kind of out of the loop a bit. i am using the reviews i have gotten so far to help point me in the right direction. which is why i just signed up. isnt that the point of these message boards...

which trading platform do you use? are you prop? i have enough cash to cover my buying power needs. a lot of these places want a profit split too if they know you are profitable. i feel like the prop firms make it seem great to get on board but try and nickle and dime you the rest of the way...

are you prop? i would go retail i have my own cash and dont like the idea of having to split my profits or that the funds arent insured. the more i research lightspeed and its software i like more and more what i am seeing. i am going to give them a call monday, already requested a demo of the...

Swan - TS platform fee is on the high side. I wont be using too many of those program tools etc. im pretty basic in my charting needs as well. Always looking to save on cost when i can. ill probably get a demo of both trade station and lightspeed. I liked what i saw on order entry...

hitnrun who do you use? what do you trade?

i am done with IB as well and am currently looking for a new broker. who are you looking at??

what do you trade? trade station is who i was going to look at next. and probably lightspeed too. is trade station for more automated trading and program trading?

speed trader uses DAS right? ive heard mixed reviews about that software. i dont know much about lightspeed i will check them out. does anyone use them? let me know what you think if you do. i looked at a few others today as well. eliminated MB.

I am more of an intraday trader. i dont usually hold overnights. TD at 8 bucks a trade isnt going to cut it. i need a per share pricing structure. i do about 2 million a month in volume. cant make $$ at a TD on a per trade rate like that. Not the way i trade. im not looking for a schwab or TD...

more and more i feel like i need better software. the system feels laggy. looking for better execution.

stocks mostly. options not too often also

also, i need pure DMA i dont want my orders matched off internally. The system should be pretty customizable and execution quality is essential. as well as cost but im pretty active so that shouldnt be a problem from what i am seeing thanks for any help you can give me. i see some options...

some firms still send flow direct to exchanges without taking a piece off the top though or matching it internally. why are you guys complaining about cheaper commissions? Would you rather $40 a trade then $10? get on board with someone who doesnt make a market off your flow and slow down...

Is MB's trading system any good? I am with IB but looking for a new broker.

if you have your own cash why would you want to be prop if you profitable to back yourself wouldnt you want to be out on your own? what am I missing? ive been trading successfully for years now but feel no need to go prop

I have been with IB for a few years. The service, and fills are getting worse and worse. I need to be able to call into a trade desk and talk to a real rep. The platform and fills are killing me lately im missing out on good trades. Im mostly equities with some options every now and then...
