Are you a Day Trader or a Scalper?

For small accounts and scalping trading style, I suggest this broker: http://www.velocityfutures.com using X trader platform
for big accounts: Man Financial always with X-Trader

YES also Infinity Brokerage for small accounts with TransAct AT platform

Woody,
I forgot to mention that if you trade only one exchange Global Futures offers X-Trader Transactional Model free paying 4.75 R/T
X-Trader is definitely the fastest execution platform, less than 0.150 milliseconds for an order fill

I believe as Canadian client, Woody would have to go through IB Canada, which allows trading on U.S. exchanges, but does not trade the Canadian exchanges. Probably a regulatory thing, since IB is U.S.-based broker. So he could use IB for U.S. markets but would have to maintain a separate account with a Canadian broker for the Canadian exchanges. Check out www.interactivebrokers.com in case I'm wrong on this.
