Hi all, I'm wondering which brokers are best for block trades. I can't really day trade because of my job so my holding period is going to be anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. I do however want accurate quotes. Also I will be starting an account with >1mio in balance, so the broker has to have excellent execution and support. theres nothing more frustrating than seeing my limit orders right there and the market is keep hitting/lifting the level but my orders are not getting done.
I will be trading mainly equities/etf/options, not so much futures or FX
In terms of platform I mainly rely on bloomberg terminal and excel so platform is not a big concern, its a plus if they also have good charting programs.
so my priorities are:
1. execution for size orders ( $50,000 - 500,000 a trade)
2. support and accuracy
3. platforms
also i can only use my firm's approved brokers which are the following:
Charles Schwab
Fidelity Investments
E*trade
Morgan stanley SB
UBS
Merrill Lynch
TD Ameritrade
Morgan stanley
thanks
