Thank you Hollisnan, I already followed your advice and visited Kiplinger´s webpage, its "Best of the Online Brokers" article was extremely helpful. Thank YOU.

WOW, all these are great suggestions, I´ll get on it right away. TradeKing Just2Trade OptionsHouse I have already checked out TradeStation and it looks good at first-glance but their "per share" comm is $0.006 which is higher than IB´s $0.005 (bundled) and their Flat-Fee is $6.99 but after the first 5,000 shares they charge $0.006 per share... being that my average ticket is around 10,000 (remember I trade low-priced stocks) it makes no sense, that is why I need to find a broker with good execution and with a flat-fee per ticket. Any other recommendation?

Guys, I need your help deciding which DMA broker to use. I have a daily strategy buying (or shorting) stocks at the close of the day to sell them (or buy them back) at the close of the next day. I have been using IB and have been happy with the system and their commissions ($0.005 per share), the problem is that lately I have been trading more low priced stocks so the $0.005 cost is starting to be very steep for me. IB does not have the pricing structures others like TD Ameritrade have where you can pay a fix price "per ticket" instead of "per share", I would rather pay $9.99 per ticket instead of $0.005 per share when trading $1 priced stocks. So I am forced to change brokers... considering that I only buy and sell U.S. equities and don´t need fundamental research of sophisticated graphs... Which broker would you recommend me to use?

I hear interesting comments about TD Ameritrade and the new platform at CS StreetSmart Edge... any comments?
