Canadian available brokers - Fastest first 15 min fills

[7out]

It's very simple - The first 15 min of NASDAQ action. I buy the first pullback with a market order as I have no other choice because I need the fill and its moving too fast for limit orders. I'm with Scotia Itrade. I takes 30 secs to get a fill 15% higher than when I hit buy. I instantly go to sell as the green candle is at its peak - doesn't sell for 20 secs until half-way down the next red candle. Smart routing - sells order flow or I should say 'HUNDREDS' of people opinions on the internet, I'm not expert just researching. CenterPoint has quick routes for this type of trading like their FAN Route. The response I was looking for was if people had used direct routing with IB and found it faster. If I asked the question directly - I wouldn't of got an organic answer. Ross Cameron (I follow his style of trading) has mentioned Direct routing didn't speed up his fills with IB. Just fishing gentlemen. I'm not stupid as some of you ass clowns are suggesting. I have sent a email to cancel my membership so don't worry I'm gone - just going fucking crazy stuck in the house and dieting hard which is messing with your head. I'm normally wouldn't bother asking for anyone opinions as I see the results haven't changed. There are nightmare stories for fills with tradezero and IB so the only choice for my style of trading is CenterPoint. Never trust a man than won't admit he faults.

I do my investment trading with a Bank because time isn't of the essence.
However, now that I have more time I use my AMP account and trade the index flawlessly. With one click trade activation I see trades filled in milliseconds exactly where the ask/bid was.

Thanks for the advice pussnutz!!! I like to meet you in an alley and watch you slowly bleed out

OOOOOOOhhhh, look at the tough guy on an internet forum @ArtofWAR

You don't train people for a living so WTF would you bring it up? Feeling insecure?

Was I so important as you had to take time out of your unemployed day to reply to me not once but twice?

I guess meeting your gay lovers in an alley is difficult when you are not paying them with your non existent $85-120 an hour anymore?

I use Questrade now. I have never waited more than a second for a market order to fill.

What are you trading? I'm using triple leveraged ETFs SPXS and SPSL. Trading the open.

Questrade is terrible for fills. Order flow is sold to APEX and Citadel who trade against your orders. IB Canada is way better.

I used IB when I was day trading and switched to Questrade when I moved to swing trading to save on commissions.

I've never had a market order filled for more than a penny over or under the bid/ask. I'm not scalping so couple cents one way or the other doesn't matter to me.

if you pay a penny over the ask, how are you saving on commissions? .01x100 = $1.00

I don't always pay a penny over; IB fills were also over or under at times with market orders.

The savings are size related. 1000 shares with IB is 10 bucks. With Questrade it's 5.

IB is a great broker if you are trading often and small size. I recommend them to anyone day trading in Canada.

Your executions will be worse at Questrade. I worked there for many years and you won't get any improvement over NBBO hardly ever. My fills and commissions were better at IB than my old Questrade employee commission plan.

Though if you're trading penny stocks on the OTC and CSE exchanges then sure use them.

Thanks for the info.

I'm trading very liquid Canadian stocks for the most part and US leveraged index ETFs when I get bored and day trade.

IB commissions were great with shares size less than 1000 shares. US even better at 1/2 cent per share.

For ETFs with no buy cost, I can scale in and have one 5 buck commission when I close the position.

Hopefully one day the Canadian Brokers will offer no Commission trades.
