How Do I Open My Own Online Brokerage Firm? i know alot about the brokerage industry, but i'd like to know who i can go to in order to support and build an online trading platform for stock and bond transactions over the internet. i've seen a few sites that offer $5.00 stock trades and i'm sure they must be using an interface set up through another host company. but who is that host company? it's got to be a company that does the clearing, margining, and cashiering i believe. the host company would be responsible for the major issues like insurance, backoffice, etc the few online brokers out there today like Schwab, E*trade and TD Ameritrade are all independent and spent millions of dollars building their platform and have backoffices as well. but is there a 'plug n' play' solution for a small broker/dealer operation available?? and as trade prices go down, what is going to keep the business from becoming a 'loss leader'? margin rates? options trades? mutual fund fee kickbacks? advertising on every confirmation ticket/email
