A question about the trading platform:

What would the profile of a brokerage firm which would consider using the iFinix trading platform?

For instance, Scottrade, which I use, would probably not want to support iFinix. Why, because they make money routing trades through the MMs they contract with.

The 'Elite' Platform does not show L2 for pink sheets, but it does show T&S, and I can enter trades for INXR online.

I have subscribed to Microcap trade just for the L2 function for opinks to fill the gap where Scottrade drops the L2 for Pinks.

But, if Scotttrade felt they were missing the boat on pinks, they would just begin to supply the L2 for the pinks again, as they did in the past.

So, what kind of broker will sign up to use iFinix. Are there that many brokers that don't have therir own in-house trading platform, and who contract with outside providers of this. I suppose there must be, as it must be expensive to crearte an online trading platform, beyond the ability of small brokerage outfits to do. And, I understand there are brokers who simply don't provide the ability to do online orders.
