The good thing w/ HFT trading software is that with small sums of money you can hop on momentum movements and make pennies here and there. In the grand scheme of things, these pennies can lead to a few hundred dollars a day. I have used Sterling trading software and I was able to 'gap trade', or capture market swings with simple (Ctrl + B, or Ctrl + S), which you can't if you are using a brokerage account with your bank. If you are going to use HFT trading, you must consider a superb internet connection (what if you get locked in a trade and your home internet dies) and never Short sell, or else it would wipe out your account. For level2 activity you can also use : freestockcharts.com and they are amazing.
