Thoughts on ETrade? Alternatives

I have an account with E-Trade, for whatever reason, and am wondering what everyone’s thoughts are for using them for Forex trading, specifically scalping/daytrading. I’m wondering if they are a decent choice or not, and specifically why. I need a little bit of an explanation because i’m somewhat of a noob and may not fully understand you if you aren’t being straight forward and detailed. If it’s not a very good choice, could you please suggest another broker?
I’m in the US, will be primarily trading (Forex-ing?) after work hours, so 5pm-10pm EST.

Thanks for any and all help!

I think they are part of fxcm, so why not just use them direct

I don’t really know too much about it, but you might be right. Would there be any advantage to using fxcm directly? Would the spread then be tighter and transactions faster?
