I need to find a GOOD direct access brokerage which supports RT3 platform and has GOOD customer service and low commissions. Currently I pay $300 per month for all data and 23.95 per ticket. 100 tickets per month and the data is free. I would strongly encourage you to consider The Executioner (http://www.executioner.com) as your next broker. Compared to your current broker, their commissions are lower, their datafeeds are also less expensive and the data feeds are entirely waived after fewer trades. However, I wouldn't base this decision on fees and costs. I have come to personally know the folks at The Executioner and have been very impressed with them. They are extremely supportive to their customers and make every effort to help them succeed. I have heard only positive comments about MB Trading, as well. However, for me, The Executioner is the RT3 firm to trade through. The Executioner was the original firm to provide RT3 access to their customers. In fact, they worked with Townsend Analytics to develop the software and their customer service and support is excellent. Before you make a final decision, talk to the co-founder of The Executioner, George Muniz (1-888-843-9286). He'll be glad to answer any questions you may have about The Executioner. Good Luck, -Eric

This question was asked of me a number of times and is something you may want to consider. Why would an active trader ever open an account at either MB Trading or The Executioner, two of the twenty plus "partially independent?" branch offices of Terra Nova Trading, when one can open an account at Terra Nova Trading terranovatrading.com directly? If one was a very active trader, would not the odds of getting a special low rate with Terra Nova Trading be much greater than with one of its branch offices that have costs to be a branch of Terra Nova Trading? The Executioner branch on it's web page shows pass through fees on ECN's that Terra Nova Trading does not charge for. Those fee's can add up quickly for aggressive traders. Also the fact that Terra Nova Trading and Townsend Analytics are located next to each other in the same Chicago office building at 100 South Wacker Drive, would lead one to believe that Terra Nova Trading customers would have quicker access to Townsend programmers if needed than their partially independent branch offices in other states? (if they were not partially independent, why are they not all called Terra Nova? why different rate plans?)
