I'm trading probably 4-5x what I normally trade (and I was quite active previously). I use TD Ameritrade and have been quite happy w/their service thus far. Hated Fido. iPhone trading works much better thru TD vs Fido as well. I'm sure I'm not your typical TD trader, but I also think a certain subset will trade more when they realize that's the way to make money in this market. That's our advantage is to fly around like bugs while the big funds labor around in the mud. Lastly one thing to keep in mind is TD's parent is a Canadian bank that appears to be in decent shape. Fido clears it's trades thru JPM the derivative king, may not matter, but one day it might. Of course Fido is privately owned and not public and that's an advantage. I know it probably doesn't factor into your decisions, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Do you have a Forex account? If so who do you use? I'm thinking that's next on my list of things to do to prepare for the financial storm that cometh.
