TrackTrade Vs IB: Could've saved 27%

Quote from newestmember:

TTrade equities are much cheaper, and there are no ECN fees to pay.

You are implying that IB charges ECN fees? If so, please do some homework.

And you will see that my post was in reply to someone who stated that TTrade charges ECN fees, and as far as I can tell, they do not.

for small orders and for a whole plethora of futures IB wins hands down ... plus ... IB is in much better financial shape

But I'm seriously considering switching for equities.

Does anyone here have experience trading stocks on TrackTrade's platform?

Is it god-awful?

No ECN fees.
I have experiences with TrackData,
they are very, really VERY reliable.
One outage I noticed in 3 or 4 years,
plus 2 or 3 times transmission delays.

They do not put much effort into new
developments, but have a rock-solid
old-fashion style system.
