Lightspeed has been a solid trading platform for me.

Exceptional rates!! small company but very reliable. Small company has its own problems such as not enough staff to support their growing needs, hence customers have to wait little longer (1-2 mins) to get hold of someone.

I am a daytrader with ADD. I need a fast stock trading platform so I can get in and out of my positions. Lightspeed seems to be the platform for me.

"Lightspeed brings a number of institutional research tools to the platform, such as a net-order-imbalance indicator and a block-trade screener. Both Nasdaq and the NYSE have tools that display stocks with net order imbalances—Nasdaq offers its Opening Cross and Closing Cross, while the NYSE has Market on Open and Market on Close. These measures list the stocks that have major order disparities in their buy-sell ratios, suggesting a strong price move in one direction or the other. Lightspeed's order-imbalance tool displays these stocks on a single screen, and lets you search for those you might find appealing. Lightspeed's Block Trades tool has two components. One indicates when a trade of more than 10,000 shares is executed on any public exchange under any ticker symbol, while the other can be set to display stocks that fit certain user specifications. For instance, you can customize the tool to show stocks that trade more than 100,000 shares during a specified period. Many peripatetic traders want to be alerted to institutional activity in the stocks they're following, which can indicate that a mutual fund or insider is making a move they can profit from. Until recently, Lightspeed's P&L calculations hadn't included commissions, but that shortcoming has been fixed. That's especially important because Lightspeed doesn't charge a flat fee per transaction (such as brokers like TDAmeritrade and Fidelity do), making commissions a little tricky to determine. Plus, rates depend on trading frequency."

Simply the best platform available for active traders. Great customer service as well.

A little unsettled right now. Filled out an application with a ton of personal information. Got an email back saying please scan and send your drivers license to finish application along with personal net worth information. It's been almost a week. I sent follow up emails and phone calls for response. Nothing. All I get is voice mail and no one is answering my emails anymore. Is this a scam company that might have just sold my identity? I'm trying to find consumer complaints or anything with the Better Business Bureau but not a whole lot of luck. For all I know all the reviews are fake and posted by SHAM company. Help!

Thats not good. Lightspeed is a well established company. Email me at support@comparebroker.com and I will see what I can do for you through our contact there.
