I start to wonder why a guy who needs 500 $ margins on the ES, who does not know what a FCM is and who cannot compare a fistful of brokers by himself needs exactly the TT platform...
If you want to use TT with your new broker this would narrow the list that I posted before down to the following:
TradeFutures4Less (FCM is Dorman Trading)
RCG (through Sweet Futures as the IB, for example)

Hi all,
I want to expand my trading a bit and start to daytrade stocks, in addition to my futures trading.
I am pretty much a noob in regard to stock trading, so maybe you can help me with your input which broker and clearing firm and which software would be the best to choose.
I have narrowed...
For AMD that would mean about 15,000 shares per trade.
If you try to trade that size in AMD with a market order, in most cases you would for sure move the price at least somewhat.
There are many ways to trade such a volume intraday without moving the price, but it depends on your trading goals...

Are you sure that you know what you are doing ? Missed the rollover, still trading the old december contract ? And doing that kind of volume and still paying paying the fixed rates at IB ? Come on, you can do better than that.
