I am interested in day-trading in the stockmarket. What companies offer the best deals?
Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

None. Do not day trade. Take this from an experienced investor with a strong background in Finance.
You are never going to get much daytrading and more likely to lose what you have.
Take the investment approach, not day trading.
Depends..
Is your strategy technically based or fundamentals?
Do you back test your trades?
Can you identify a channel from a break out?
Or are you just looking to get poor quickly..
To answer your Q – sort of:
On a consistent basis – every day, you MUST have in your trading account: $25,000 U.S. CASH – no excuses, no positions or trades – pending or otherwise.
COLD, HARD cash.
As soon as your trading account goes to
$24,999.99 a whole new set of rules comes into play.
This is not the broker’s rule. This is an S.E.C. rule.
If you have this money in-hand, there are a myriad of companies who will be more than happy to allow you to open an account.
Some advertise on a consistent basis. Others have to be "tracked-down" and investigated.
You can do trades for as little as $1 per trade up to a certain number of shares OR you can go with a full-service broker who charges a percentage of the trade.
AND it all comes down to the kind of services and research you need or want for your trading level or ability.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
