Didn't realize that ATP did the CLLZF conversion. Neat feature, thanks for pointing it out. Do you know if Fidelity does this for all Canadians with a Pink Sheet symbol?

Some Canadian stocks will cost an additional $50 Fidelity transaction fee, Oils Sands Split is one example. Foreign Security Transactions Foreign (ordinary) stock orders that do not clear through Depository Trust Company will be charged $50 in addition to the applicable stock commission.

You can get the *.TO (eg, CLL.TO) quotes real-time in $C on the Active Tarder platform. When you click the "trade" buttom right next to it, it opens the trade window and automatically converts the symbol to the pink sheets (CLLZF) and shows the price in USD. You can then adjust your limit buy/sell order in USD easily using this figure. Thank you for pointing out that very nice feature. I have also not been using Active Trader Pro since I am really not an active trader. I do intend to convert to it and am planning to take the ATP seminar when it is scheduled at my local Fido office. I do see one problem. The current quote for CLL.TO is approx 4.47 up approx 1% today. The USD price quoted for CLLZF is 3.9954 which was the closing pink sheet price on Fri. The prior day close is what you always get throughout the following day's session for a pink sheet stock. The USD price should be 4.03-4.04. You probably wouldn't get any right now under four bucks so it appears that you still need to do a manual conversion from the CURRENT Toronto price.
