Yes I figured but the breadth of what they offer keeps then on my list... I'll be looking to open up a non registered account in a couple of months now that I've done away with my mortgage. I just got off the phone with TD.. geez the frontline guy was totally misinformed (likely not informed) and he kept coming back from his manager no better off.. He was telling me exactly the opposite of the website on the new platform... Anyway to his credit when I was pleasantly persistent (a pit bull with a loose grip :O) he hooked me up with someone working with the new platform specifically. She was very helpful as she understood how it worked. One caveat for folks like me that tend to spread out orders at different prices is that for stocks that qualify for the flat fee... It is one flat fee per execution.... so buying 30K of something in 3 chunks is 3 flat fees... not based on EOD tally of total buys or sells. For the > 1$ Canadian issues where you pay a penny a share over 1K it is cumulative... and you do not get hit with multiple flat fees... ie.. buying 20K DeJour in 4 tranches in one day from 1.28-1.35 would be one order... but buying that same DeJour a couple of months ago @ .65-.75 would be 4 X 14.99.... Anyway it's a big improvement... but still not cheap enough LOL.. Al
