For those of you considering or currently using Suretrader, I'm just going to leave this here.

 

 

This doesn't even need explaining but from personal experience, if you're trading a small account/ just learning to trade, it's going to be near impossible at Suretrader. 

If you want to trade 200 shares at ST it's going to cost you about $12 for a round trip whereas at IB it's about $2.10

I know most people use Suretrader to avoid the PDT but would you rather pass the PDT slowly or not at all? I lost about $650 in a month at Suretrader and yes I'm still red after switching to IB but I'm down only $27 after a month and a half!

Interactive Brokers allows you to take small size and actually grow as a trader without leeching off of your account and they have great borrows! If you're under 25, then you only need $3000 to open an account with them.

Wall Street has barriers in place to keep the little man down, just make sure you're giving yourself a real chance and save up/study before you dive into it like I did.
