This is actually pretty common among retail brokers. Td Ameritrade, scottrade, etrade, all the famous ones. None of them have direct access routing. Very few do, I only know of obscure ones like Interactive Brokers and Centerpoint. You pay extra for direct access routing, and you pay per share, and it's not cheap. Not that it matters much. It probably matters to daytraders who need speed but your average retail trader doesn't need that

It does matter to bizbros who got a cent stolen from every trade.

Better than paying 12 dollars round trip commission from the big box brokers.

this is better than the business model I expected:
>take deposits
>never execute a trade
>most people who trade (esp with a smartphone) lose money
>pay out the winners with the losers money
>keep the rest of the losers money for yourself

fucking awesome! You trade in something utterly worthless (a record of your incompetence as a trader) and get free gambling in return. Capitalism is great!

Not if you invest more than 1200 bucks.
