Veerrry interesting.  Wonder what kind of fills you'll get in equities?  I 
assume futures execution will go direct to Globex so there will be no games 
there, but what about stocks?  I don't trade stocks but I know there are 
lots of ways for the broker to make a buck even without commissions.  Any 
ideas how good TS Pro executions are?  

For futures it says you have access to "electronic futures markets" -- but 
the fine print says "it means the routing through servers to an electronic 
system that transmits the order directly to the **floor** of the exchange." 
 Don't they route directly to Globex??

Anybody know what their futures commission rates are?

I had to dig pretty deep to find it, but the minimum account size is $50k 
to trade equities, $20k for futures.  Still, that's not a bad deal.  Might 
be worth a look-see.
