Hi all, I just changed the broker from IB to TD Ameritrade. So it no longer suport the routes SMRTL/SMRTM, so which is the best to choose for daytrading. I have tried ARCAL, but it seems a bit slower for trade execution. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot

Hey - I can't answer your question (sorry!) but I'm curious...you're using DAS with TD?  I'm assuming you have to pay the monthly fee for DAS right?  But TD's still not charging commissions using DAS?

Did anyone figure the best routes yet for TD?  If not then how are you trading?  Are you using hotkeys?

How is that working out for you?  Are you happy with TD overall?

So happy with it copmaring to IB. But not much stocks shares can be shorted in TD, like I can't short tsla.
