I'm from italy and a new Tradestation customer and I'm not currently happy with them so I'm looking for a new broker/data/platform to trade USA stocks.
I work on fast timeframes so i need something tha can be stable on fast market, fast in execution and so on....

I use and very much love this configuration: NinjaTrader, IQFeed for data, Interactive Brokers which won Barron's top spot for best broker 4 years in a row now.
so ninja as charting for stocks, iqfeed for data. ok.
i would avoid IB because of my trading style. what are my other choices? Tradeking don't allow foreign costumers...

Why avoid IB? I don't understand. With Ninja you trade right thru it and you never actually touch IB TWS if you don't want to save for account type stuff. You don't even touch IB's data (which is snap shots data) hence IQFeed which data rocks, best around. IB has the best executions especially for stocks and are global with multiple centers just what you should be looking for IMHO in Italy.

Buy Low And Sell High (read left to right or right to left....lol)
as i said, IB don't fit my style....with IB fees i would pay 20 to 30$ x execution wich is way too much...i need some flat fees broker like tradestation or trdeking
I work with TradeStation directly, but I do not do stocks. From what I know TS works with FCM360 Joins with TradeStation | FCM360.COM If you have programmed with your method this could be a solution. Since you are trading from Europe, you need to decide what is the cause of the issue as you may experience the same with another USA broker. TS is a rock solid platform, try to reach out to your rep to see what data settings you have.
Kind regards,

Yesterday i did trading on SDRL with blocks of 10k shares, pyramiding my position in and out. With IB i would had payd 50$ each plus Transaction fees, pass-through fees etc etc
I think IB is good for trading few hundreds shares of high priced stocks or to short due to the low margin rates
