Hello, I'm in the process of trying to execute my strategy with real money. I've had good backtests, and the strategy has continued to perform well in my 6 months of paper trading here on QuantConnect.

Now, I am looking for what broker would be the best for me. I am a US citizen, and I need to be able to buy and short US equities. I plan on trading with a few thousand dollars, making about one trade per week, and I am fine if the broker does not integrate into QuantConnect, as long as there is an API I can use.

Given my situation, does anyone have any recommendations for a choice of broker?
