01
Direct Market Access, Not a Smart Router
Route orders yourself to NYSE, NASDAQ, ARCA, IEX, EDGX, BATS, and 20+ ECNs. Pick the venue, take the rebate, skip the middleman. No PFOF, no internalizer, no re-quoting your fill.
§ Why Speedtrader International
The execution stack pros use. Opened up to individual traders.
Most brokers outside the US route your orders through an internalizer, block the shorts you actually want, and cap you at top-of-book quotes. We give you the same rails prop desks and quant funds route through — from a $2,000 account.
