Hi I use IB and Fidelity but have tried many brokers (except Suretrader). I think developing your own style is key, I try to trade straight out of Al Brooks books. I don't do much alerts.

If you have q's about brokers etc let me know. I usually don't play real big as I am still learning how to scalp clean and precise as well as consistently. It's a marathon, not a sprint so as long as I am profitable even by $1 I am ok...patience is key!
