Ok, I will go into a little more detail. I use to call up for free trades. But one day a rep said to me no and that I should speak to the broker assigned to my account. So, I negotiated a deal. I said I will bring all four of my accounts ( cash, 401K, traditional IRA, and IRA BDA) from Fidelity if I can get my margin rate cut in half and I receive unlimited free trades on all my accounts. The broker went to his superiors and came back with a Yes.
Prior to bringing these accounts over, I only had one cash account with TD Ameritrade.
Everything is negotiable with TD Ameritrade. In the 90s, I negotiated $17.99 mutual fund trades.
I don't want to sound like a pimp for TD Ameritrade because honestly I don't give a shit where you or anyone else places their trades.
In life, you don't ask meekly, you make an offer or deal. Obviously, TD Ameritrade wanted my money from Fidelity and liked how I traded.
