For me, I ended up with Integra Trade for a couple of reasons. They are based in NYC, a 4-minute walk from Wall St. Should I decide that I want to pursue my career further, there is no better place to meet and greet in this profession, than in the Big Apple. You can trade from their office too should you make appropriate arrangements. Remote trading has very good backup support. The manager of that group (Zack Nadel) is SUPER nice and very accommodating. Commissions would depend on the volume you trade, however, they are probably the best you will find in the industry.
