ETrade is not bad but they are too expensive nowadays, even with the 5$(market)/10$(limit) order fee grandfathered from Brownco. I mostly do limit orders and 10$ is fairly high. Besides that their days (IMO) are counted and i think the brokerage arm will end up being acquired. I have gotten spoiled by Interactivebrokers where a 100 share trade is 1$ (I love buying in small increments). Optionhouses' 2.95$ for a stock trade looks reasonable. I am going to test drive their virtual account and see how it goes. IB has a virtual account as well, worth a test drive imo (although the learning curve with them is steeper than with most others). Tradeking is 5$ and get's pretty good ratings overall and is another option. I am wondering would you like about ETrade? The only thing I can come up with is the pretty decent bond trading operation although I never perused it.
