I use strategydesk from ameritrade and up to day I had no problems whatsoever. Nice charting package kinda similar to e-signal. Fast execution.

I only trade the cube's and spyders and my trades are longer than the futures.

If you're using options to create leverage on the stocks try optionxpress...excellent customer service and fast execution.

Hint: If you ever take a peak on qqqq and have acces to futures, use NQ as a leading indicator for the cube's...works a treat

Hello there, I'm resurrecting this thread to ask for some advice regarding brokers for stock trading.

I'm from Asia, and have my own "local" brokers who allow the trading of US shares - but that's not what I really want to do. I'm just interested in watching price and trade data for now, and learn to read the tape for a while.

Problem is, 2 of my 3 brokers that allow the trading of US stocks do not even provide real-time sales data. The best I can get is a real time candle-stick chart...with no sales volume data to boot.

Can anyone please advise if there are any brokers/service providers that do supply such data, and preferably for free? Also, any historical data/chart would be a bonus. I'm thinking of e-trade but I'm unsure if you need more than their basic platform to get such services.

Thanks in advance!
