Hi Shack,

If you daytrade mostly US stock, take a serious look at the Cybertrader plateform available now for canadian via questrade.com.

Around 12-15$ per ticket and low commission cost for options.

questrade.com

InteractiveBrokers.ca can be very interesting too.

Shack,

As a former Schwab Canada customer, I can confirm that ScotiaMcBlow has one of the worst online trading systems I've ever encountered. For Canadian stocks, I've switched to E*Trade Canada and have been very pleased, especially with their short-selling fills and reports. E*Trade also has options trading but I haven't used them. If you are an active trader, the Power E*Trade option is also very handy (cheaper commissions and a handy trading platform). For U.S. stocks and eminis, I have just signed up with Interactive Brokers Canada and have heard nothing but good things about them from a couple of other active Canuck traders.

Best of luck to you,
Cometguy

E trade and Interactive Brokers are definitely the best combination for Canadian Investors.

What happened to Schwab/Slowtia calling everyone to say nothing would change, they would be migrating the Scotia people to Schwab's platform? Didn't they buy them so they could improve their pathetic service?
