FWIW, my prognostication is the very best TRAD can hope for is to
achieve the quality of IB..... great when it works but you're SOL and it
costs you big money with no recourse when it doesn't.
There's a lot more to being a good broker than providing flashy looking
software. For starters, the software and computer infrastructure should
be 100% reliable (belt) and, when that fails, there should be a good
phone backup (suspenders) where you promptly get a real broker on the
line, not some techno nerd who tells you to reboot your computer and try
again. Would anyone seriously consider trusting their trading account to
the Cruz brothers? Do you believe they will make it right when they mess
up and cost you money? I sure as hell don't. It would be like putting
your life savings in 'Crazy Joe's Used Car Lot and Savings Bank.' :-)
