patrick - brokers Funny you mentionned Robbins: also is on my short list. You can trade with them using eSignal or DTN / Interquote. Don't know yet who is their clearing house. Mention of Best direct on Intelligent speculator surprises me: neatest interface and one click point and trade I have seen. (with on line real-time trading power) If am correct trades are sent to Peregrine wich has another front end: PFG. So if Best direct is not good, logically PFG would be worse. EDF Man IB's should be the ones for day trading. Man has a day trading margin policy, about half the one of overnight margin (on the other hand, these overnight margins are higher than exchange's minimum). Also got emails from a very nice guy who wants my business and is very helpfull. Although I deselected them coz. of their interface (too many windows to click through). He is at pmbinc. Note: soome IB's let you trade through eSignal. Their partner's programm put the price of eSignal down to $130/month. Further, some IBs credit you some bucks at each RT and you can use that credit to pay for the datafeed. Something to consider if you trade 50 RTs a month.
