  TDAmeritrade can't do what I need my automated trading brokerage to do. Plus it is super user unfriendly. Is there a good one out that that yall can recommend? I know Tradestation is regarded as one of the best but I don't know if I fancy shucking out a hundred bucks a month.
 
 Man, do you know how many things I could by at the dollar store with that extra hundred bucks a month?

  Spent more than a year setting up my ultimate semi-auto mechanical trading setup.
 This is not entirely automatic, but I'm not sure I'd like someone executing trades with my money.
 
 I use TDAmeritrade with the conditional order, OTT (one triggers two).
 Order1: market (with my "one" SF filter pick)
 Order2: market on close
 Order3: Trailling Stop
 
 Monitor this from anywhere with my iPhone.
 No emotions, open to close...done.
 
 There are some 3rd party sites that will do trades.  I can dig them up, but wouldn't trust them.

  Actually that is exactly what I use.
 
 I make my buy a conditional order... I was using OTOCA (One Triggers "One Cancels Another") or something like that...a good way to have stops set up automatically when the entry is filled. But I don't use a stop loss anymore, so now I just do One Triggers Another.
