Hi
I feel you because switching brokers is a major headache. For me, it’s all about execution speed and spreads. I’ve gotta have lightning-fast fills so if a broker’s lagging or their spreads widen too much, I’m out. I’ll put up with the hassle of switching if I can shave off even a few milliseconds on execution time or cut down commission costs. It’s rare that I switch, though – it really has to be a noticable performance boost.
