How to Choose a Broker for Systematic Trading
By Dave Mabe
In this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss how to choose a broker for systematic trading.
I chronicle my entire trading history, all the way back to my first brokerage account (T. Rowe Price!).
We review the reasons I switched brokerages at every point along the way.
Topics covered:
Free commissions are not what you should be optimizing for
Tech and APIs matter - a lot more than they used to
Short locates can make a huge difference in which broker you should use
How to test fills across multiple brokers simultaneously
And much more...
