Answer 1

Have you been factoring in taxes and transaction costs in your performance figures?

If not, you should realize that the 250% gain that your talking about is probably only 30%.

Answer 2

Good job. A trading program is actually software that automatically executes orders for you according to specific commands. What you actually want is info on a good broker. That sortof depends on your strategy. Of the ones you mentioned i have used tdameritrade and am happy with it. I heard Zecco trading is free for 10 trades every month so its cheaper.

If you are a real pro and need to swing hardcore performance look to interactive brokers they are one of the best brokers for smaller traders of all types, I use them for FX trading. Good luck going live.
