I'm not sure how big the difference is between CAD and USD "pro" accounts, but I was curious if anyone could shed some insight on this topic? I tried to do some searching online and on forums but have a hard time finding exact details on how trades are processed aside from "regular clients have priority".

How big of an effect does this have on day trading? I understand the purpose of it is to prevent front running etc. but on an intraday trade, if a regular client enters the market at the same bid price but minutes after you, do they still jump ahead in priority? Which essentially means pro accounts would be screwed for day trading?

any clarification or input on this topic will be greatly appreciated!

:D
