I don't play the pennies so that's meaningless. And if I wanted to pay for feeds, Esignal or IQFeed is less than $120. I'm running two completely separate computers so really just want separate feeds for each. It also gives redundacy just in case. I do most of my trading at IB and am happy with it. It doesn't have backfill though. So would like backfill with the other feed.

Really I am only doing a token amount of trading at Ameriturd and hadn't looked at changing that if I switch. But I have been looking into my 3 cents and hour scalp or 4 for 4 idea. If you're doing 5000 share scalps, a $9.95 broker would save you about $40,000 a year in commissions over IB so I may do more trading if I switch.

And if you can do four 4 cent scalps a day and make $150,000 a year, why waste your time screwing around with pennies?
