      When choosing a broker, one of the key elements to consider is whatexecution methods are offered. A broker that offers the mosttechnologically advanced software platform, is 100-percent stable andreliable, and has the best customer service on the planet is not nearlyenough.

For DayTraders, direct access to themarkets is crucial for success. Relying on a broker to route your ordersfor you is a formula for disaster. One of the primary reasons so manyDayTraders fail in the first six months is because of the executionplatform they are using to implement their trading strategies. Poor, slowfills not only cost DayTraders money, but they eliminate many tradingstrategies from the realm of possibility.
