Both Speedtrader and Suretrader are owned by StockUSA. Speedtrader is a New York based broker that allows direct access routing to the stock market. This means you choose which ECN (electronic communication network) you will use to communicate with the exchange. Brokers that allow direct access routing are almost always faster than brokers that do not allow it. Speedtrader also features advanced hotkey settings, dark pool routing and allows traders to collect ECN rebates.
