I used E-Trade for six months and couldn't stand it anymore: terribly slow executions at times, countless commission errors, mistakes on buys that wouldn't find their way into my account (so I couldn't sell them the next day), etc. I switched to Schwab and have had very, very few problems: - executions range from 15 seconds to a few minutes - I can get a broker on the phone almost immediately - customer service is excellent if you have a question or problem - there are commission errors, but they find them before I do, typically - only one error where I'd bought a stock that hadn't gotten registered in my account by the next morning, and it presented no problems: I phoned, got a broker and had it sold within minutes All in all, and from reading the experience of other Canadian traders, the best place to trade. I use Canada-Stockwatch for LII and realtime, graphs, etc. Fair to middling, IMO, but it's hard to find a US counterpart that covers all the CDN exchanges and stocks. WUWT
