Catoosa, Thanks for the info. My main worry is slipppage because my trading system works on a short time frame (1 to 3 days) and I need good fills in order to make money. Is JPR good with slippage? I agree with you that IB are fairly fast but their slippage is huge!!! What do you mean when...

Actually, I have had experience with IB and I think they have horrible executions. Who cares about low commissions if they give you terrible executions? When I have used stop orders I have been filled very far from the stop; when I have used stop limit, they either filled me at the limit or...

Thanks Babak, I have the list of brokers who use RealTick, but I would like to find sombody who has first hand experience with them, especially TeraNova and JPR Capital.

I have seen many different and contraddictory opinions on the isssue of the odd lot order with IB. Does anybody know exactly how it works? Can you trade orders of 123 shares, for example?

I am actually trying to find a site where I could simulate trades; I would like to be able to use it just as I would, for example, use a Datek account. I think it would be much more useful than paper trading with real pencil and paper.

Does anyone know a good free site for paper trading. I tried marketplayer.com, but they only have stop loss orders and do not offer normal stop buy or stop sell orders. Thanks for your help.

Is anybody familiar with Dan Sheehan and his course for the Series 7 Exam? Is he good? His site is: http://www.series7exam.com/ Thanks for your help luitom
