I do not use Eschwab. I am a Schwab 500 customer which is for frequent traders. You are expected to make an average of 4 trades per month and have equity at Schwab of, I think $50,000 or more. Schwab 500 customers get 20% off commission if they use the web (as do all Schwab customers) and an additional 20% of that number. I make about 30 trades per month so I called them about possibley changing to ESchwab or a deep discounter and they offered to lower my commissions to keep me. They have a cimputer program that looks at several factors and comes up with a commission schedule.
