Default What brokers do you guys use?

I have only about $5000, maybe $10,000 by the end of the year and I was wondering what do you have? I have an E*trade bank account but I am not liking their business. They have soo much fine print to sift through. I know bout thinkorswim, is this what everyone here uses?

TOS is nice. If you don't need a platform you could look at Choicetrade.

It depends on your needs and what you are looking for in a broker. Some factors are: commissions, what you plan to trade, chart software, platform, execution speed, customer service, and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of right now.

most active is my TOS account
i use Infinity futures every now and then
FX solutions for forex

I closed my Interactive brokers account
closed scottrade account

your choice of broker should depend on your style of trading. for my style i find TOS to be the best bang for buck
