Which broker for day trading stocks?

I'm not an equity day trader. I'm a former option market maker. When I do trades for myself, some are options on futures (at INTL FC Stone) and some are equity options with some stock at TD Ameritrade in my Roth IRA. If I was more active and it was not in my Roth IRA, I would use Apex Clearing for a PM account and Silexx OEMS for a trading platform. That is what we offer our clients. We have other platforms, but I like Silexx OEMS for options. My trading is currently very small. I have to focus on work not trading.

As for you, sounds like TD is fine for now. This is not a big decision as you can change if you are not happy.

Always cool to see what tools the more experienced people use. Yeah, I'll probably stick to something newbie friendly for now.
 
For TWS, I would suggest you try a demo a bit a it is much more powerful than many realize. We also have another front end called Mosaic and if you don't like that, there are a host of other front ends that route via IB.

As for cost, you are not comparing apples and oranges if you don't consider the hidden cost of payment for order flow. I came across this from Eric Hunsader of Nanex.

Very nice def! I've had excellent experience with IB. You've always been very helpful.
