I've been telling my friends, I trade with Fidelity and knock on wood, never have problems. Active traders get $14.95 per trade, Limit orders with a live broker are $20.00. Everything is updated by 4:00a.m. and access is tremendous, dependable and predictable. I also use the F.O.X. software and it is tremendous. Realtime quotes and indices, premarket prices, etc... I can go on and on. NYSE trades often get "price improvements", where I get the buy price at the bid!!! I don't know how they do it but every time I get the order confirmation with one, I shake my head!!!
I used e*Trade before for all trades, but the reliability and lack of trust drove me crazy! Executions I couldn't trust, open orders sitting for minutes as the price rose or fell. I know what your feeling.
My monthly statements are organized. In one instance, I called to get an explanation on a new policy that went into effect, I was actually wrong but they gave me a $200 credit for not informing me with a more obvious letter.
Wouldn't give it up for anything.
