I am looking into trying to trade Futures. I have a paper trading account with TDAmeritrade so I was trading Futures with ToS. I think that ToS is a bit clunky and some people mentioned that if you are trying to get just a few ticks at a time (scalping) then ToS isn't a good platform to use, and also TDA has higher than usual commissions.
I am wondering for anyone that has tried scalping or does it regularly, if there are recommendations for brokers/platforms?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

How much volume are you looking to trade? If you're say just doing 300 round turns a month, then any of the normal brokers, IB, Infinity, etc should all be fine.
If you're doing something north of say 2,500 and need X-Trader, then probably best to reach out to one of the shops out in Chicago to negotiate the volume discounts.
