Good to hear someonme else finds Action Direct the pits.They should stick to banking as their execution is pathetic.I can place an order and watch the market move for sometimes after 1/2 hour I call and ask them if there trader on the floor is out sick or late for work.They(action direct)have cost me money time and time again.I have an account with Scotialine as well but have not used it yet.Buckey John says they are slow by times but he is still using them I believe and I may head there as their trades are 25.00 less 20% if you use the net.
I agree it is better to pay say 30-35/trade if execution is better as it is merely the cost of doing business and if it insures speedy execution it willmake you money.Action Direct is pathetic.I hope they will hire another person for their order room when I call.I hate listening to that"we are experiencing extremely high call volumes" when the market is dead.
Oh well having been in the industry from 1978-1985, I know it is the practice of the banks to understaff and under pay and they don't care.

Soon taking flight,
