Web platform cheap but limited

"$1 per stock trade when trading less than 200 shares: hardly beatable! But I am using the web platform and it has some serious drawbacks. Worst is that P&L is only udated overnight!! Bottom line: you cannot have an idea of your portfolio performance during the day..."

Make sure to ask for the news guy!

Make sure you get added to the news if you use LIghtspeed. Call up there and make them add you. I have an account that I keep open just for the news.

Great Broker For Trading NYSE & NASDAQ stocks

I've used Lightspeed for a number of years and have had a great experience with them. They have an easy to use platform with fast execution. They are great if you trade mainstream stocks such as NYSE and NASDAQ listed stocks.

Hadnt heard of them, took a shot, BEST decision in a while

I trade about 1.3 million shares a month on average. I wasnt too familiar with Lightspeeds offering. I had heard they had a really solid platform with great executions and low cost.
