What is the best L2 provider?

[UltF]

I am planning to get L2 and I am curious what people are using and whether they like or dislike where they are getting it from.
How much do you pay?

What's the layout like compared to others?

What's awesome?

What sucks about it?

Would you get it again?


Thanks for your replies!

I've asked this question a lot and have gotten mixed answers. A lot of folks use I-hubs L2 (not sure how much it is). I've used Scottrade's and it sux for Pinks/OTCBB. E-trades is my favorite. I believe it's still free if you have at least $10k in your account and do at least 20 commissionable trades a month. You might need to double-check on this, they might have minimized the requirements.

E-trade gives you full-blown L2 on all stocks (Pinks, OTCBB, AmEx). Makes life a lot easier knowing where the big money support levels are at. I wouldnt recommend trading without using a good L2 platform.

And remember, who cares how much it is ... it's a TAX WRITE-OFF!! So are your broker's commissions.

I didn't want to go through the effort of opening an Etrade account right now so I went with ihub. They were offering 1 free month but its $30 per month after. 2 days of using it and I like it a lot. Hopefully I can make a favorites list of tickers or something...
