Greenline vs Etrade I use both, here are a few things I've noticed: 1. Etrade does NOT have stop loss orders, Greenline does 2. Both Etrade & Greenline have electronic Cancel and CFO orders. (Not sure what your problem is with these, they work fine for me) 3. Etrade does NOT have short selling. Greenline shorts have to be called in. 4. Etrade web site is usually much faster than Webbroker. 5. Greenline restricts out-of-range orders. Very annoying when trading micro-pennies. 6. Greenline is the largest discount broker in Canada, which can be an advantage when competing for fills. Also Greenline provides access to IPO's. (It's been a while since I've seen anything hot though) In summary until Etrade gets stops and short-selling I don't see them being a big force for daytraders. Greenline really needs to do something about the performance of their Webbroker. I don't have an account but I've also heard a lot about Priority Brokerage. It will be interesting to see how things develop with Schwab at the helm. Happy trading, Brad
