Re: Other Platforms

I don't use Fidelity to trade but do have accounts there. They offered 
me 0.005 /sh pricing if I do 40K shares/month which is my current 
trading level.
can't speak to execution but it is direct access, I've used IB but 
currently use Cybertrader which is going away in December ( swallowed by 
Schwab)
both have similar pricing .
