There are people who are doing scalping in an IB--->QT environment. I am guessing they are not suffering any substantial efficiency losses as they are quite successful. So if you bring AB into the equation you have a one time registration cost for QT to be rid of the need for clicking on ads(which is optional),  but you have the advantage of better analytical resources(courtesy AB). Thus with a minor financial cost and a few milli-seconds cost in terms of time lag in the data reaching AB you have a fairly workable solution. I am open to correction here but my guess is this solution is one which will not (a) impose too much on development resources at AB , (b) not cause frequent disruptions to users and finally (c) address a much wider audience in terms of allowing AB users access to many more brokers .  

OK!! My sales pitch is over. Now lets see what the AB gods deliver. :-).

Yes please Tomasz,


Please don't forget all offshore (US) traders.

Statistics is a nice trading tool but not as nice as a US broker who
will accept my (foreign) trading account.

So far I can only trade US directly via IB (no good for short term
intraday traders - 3 day wait for closed trade funds?) or Options
Express.

QT seems the only remotely hopeful path for me to have an AB based
trading platform, at the moment.

Loss of efficiency there far outweighs any 'clever' little
statistical gains.
