Two accounts: one for speculation and one for long term investments.

One for long and one for shorts that way NT does not get crossed if get multiple offsetting entries on different strategies.

Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."

One size doesn't fit all (i.e.: no brokers can meet all requirements) + good risk management to diversify between brokers:
- One for Automated Day Trading: IB
- One for Swing Trading: Low cost private broker
- One for active mangagement - registered and non registered: Bank Broker

Same for me.

IB for day and swing trades, mainly US stocks and futures.
Questrade for Canadian stocks and ETF swing trades
RBC Direct for long term trades in registered accounts.
