Hi Martin,

Yes limit orders are definitely the way you want to go, except in those rare cases where a stock is really moving and you want to get it as fast as possible. I've also found that E-Trade adds about 3 cents per share to the cost of the trade, and they attribute this to their Canadian counterpart that executes the actual trade for them. I recall reading a while back on one of these threads that they were working to improve this, but have no idea if it has improved.

I've opened a new account at Protrade which charges only $12 per trade. They also understand what Customer Service is all about.
