Does anyone trade stocks online ? If so which company do you use and why ?
Thanks
I have used several online brokers, and the best I've found so far for price and service by far is www.lowtrades.com. It's a simple interface, they offer realtime level II, the trades are only $5, (even for OTC:BB & Pink Sheets), and their service has been great. They can even arrange things that I, as a stockbroker, cannot. (sorry, can't publicly go into detail on that)
Scottrade.com is also another good one, with $7 trades, and usefull tools, but i have found their customer service and friendliness to be lacking from time to time.
Hey Commando, how is LowTrades with limit orders and options ? I also use ScottTrade, but their limit order commissions are way higher than $7 !
Thanks Commando..
Do you use any of the other services low trades offers ?
Melonie - Lowtrades at this time doesn't offer options trading, however if you see my post under the "scottrade" thread, It's $5 for limit, stop, trailing stop orders. And the execution and service is always top notch.
Farrah - As of now, I haven't used any of their other services such as the debit or crdit cards w/frequent flier miles, check-writing, or anything else, but I will be upgrading to it shortly. i can let you know how it goes if you like.
