no way in one second, from discretionary decision>finger on key>executed.

I have to agree with Robert, we are talking a SECOND! If we were talking millisecond, I would be on your side.

What kind of a visual market cue can the human mind possibly interpret and physically react on within a second? It’s just not happening.

I think we are talking from the time I press the button to the time I see position reflected on the screen.

In that case yes, but discounting the decision process in terms of latency doesn’t make much sense. Why even bother with one second execution then? No competitive advantage there, which I assume OP is seeking.

Having less than 30k and trading 10k plus shares can only mean he is trading thin penny stocks on momentum ... It's a very latency sensitive strategy especially on exits. I don't even know how he does it with IB, but I could be wrong with my ASSumptions. What I don't understand is why Ross can't freaking start backing his traders already!?

You should look into Forexchief broker. Their platform is Mt4, but you've got to see the speed of their server when executing trades, even on fast markets.

Hotkeys? How about voice to hotkey commands.... Just shout BUY, SELL, CLOSE and OH FUCK

No, I'm not across the 25k plane yet but I'm getting there so I can only still trade under the PDT rule. It's lame. But once I cross the boundary soon I'll be switching to Lightspeed who doesn't rape their customers that like to scalp high volume. I've traded multiple styles but even since I found some consistently profitable moves with very minimal risk/loss I realized this is where it's at for me.

Those of you thinking a fixed fee is best for any size really have no clue about payment for order flow. Tom Mcginnis has it right. It is all about all in costs. Do side by side tests and see the difference.
