Buxmaker. I use FT. As far as ease of use I see no problem.

Fills? I've had 4 online brokers and they all seem to be about the same.

If you want to get the best fills you should go to Mytrack. They have direct access.
But they also have big commissions and a rule that would drive me nuts which is if you put in a limit order you can't withdrawl it for 5 minutes.
In the otc world that is just to risky for me.
I do know really good traders who use it though.

Freetrade first 20 trades every month are free.
After the 20 free trades the next 100 are $3.00 a trade.
Next 100 are $2.00 a trade.
Next 100 are $1.00 a trade.

I wouldn't use any of Freetrades L2 or streamer as Alphatrade is much better and the what you get is more for about the same cost.

Alphatrade has free 7 day trial.

You get 12 L2 screens with T&S. You also get pink L2.

The L2 has arrows pointing what each MM is doing upticking or downticking.
You then can get a real good idea of what a stock is going to do.

You also get historical T&S, most active gainers/losers, news alerts, two portfolio managers with streaming quotes.

Lets look at cost.
Alphatrade cost right around $33.00 for that.

With 20 free trades each month and 3.00 a trade after the first 20 the amount I save in commisions pays for alphatrade and then some. At free or 3.00 a trade you don't have the phycological factor of commisions going into trades.
You can go in and get right out if you misjudged your trade for not very much at all.
