Rakesh,

enviornment etc).
As per your previous comment:

Re your point on scalping.

Possibly I am mis-understanding something about the way the funds
from intraday trades are cleared but if I have take 1% on an intraday
trade and then have to wait t+3 for the funds to be available haven't
I reduced my returns to 1%/3?
If that isn't the case (I don't have to wait 3 days to put the closed
intraday trade funds back to work) then I would love to go to IB
(based on the number of others who use it and the body of published
work that will help me make the transition to AT).
