Interactive Brokers, great execution quality, normally use their desktop version since find their mobile app somewhat cumbersome..

P.S. Oliver, is that really you? How was your space flight? :) Btw your comment is "dead" so you should contact the admin to fix that.

Seconding IBKR. In addition to execution and algo orders etc they have excellent margin facilities, every live feed imaginable and good fee structure for algorithmic and/or day trading. The desktop app takes some getting used to and the Java API might not be everyone's cup of tea it's fast and reliable and provides per-tick historical data which is crucial for backtesting.

there are certain parameters like net price improvement, percentage of improved orders and execution speed.. retail brokerages are encourage to make such data public by FINRA:

1. https://robinhood.com/us/en/about-us/our-execution-quality/

2. https://www.schwab.com/execution-quality
