Axis,
Benvenuto.
Like most people on here, I too use eSignal for charting and highly recommend them--especially the advanced charts thru the premier package.
My broker is PFG but I would not recommend them. In fact, I'm in the process of selecting a new broker which is a major pain in the neck.
Infinity Brokerage contacted me and offered $5 R/T (all in) for all eminis and $500 day trading margins. I currently pay $6 all inclusive.
Velocity Futures has gotten high marks from a lot of people and they have very good commission rates, too. I think they start at $5 R/T and go down from there depending on volume and which platform you choose.
Another ET member said that she uses PFG but went through JR Futures as the introducing broker and gets $3.90 R/T.
Finally, Interactive Brokers is pretty popular here. They've got really low commissions--$4.26 R/T (all in) for the mini Dow and $3.30 for ES, NQ.
I'm fiddling around with their demo acct right now trying to see how I like the interface and platform. So far so good. Except for that 15 min delay, though.
If you want a good sim acct for any reason, PFG has a good one with realtime quotes and pretty good execution. Its just their live accounts that aren't up to par.
Addio,
Boro
