Have heard mixed reviews about Suretrade. One thing I did hear is quite disturbing, specially for us traders. Listen to this. Pennies are dangerous, so of course you need cleared funds to buy. Fine. I got no problem with that. So I buy XYZW on Monday. Sell it on Tuesday. THEY WON'T LET YOU BUY MORE UNTIL XYZW SETTLES!!!!!!!!!! This is unbelievable. Even the VSE sells usually always settle. You should verify their policy as this is only what I heard. And it is so incredible, I can't believe it's true. Supposedly Schwabb has the same policy. TG

I sent in an application put they didn't process it properly so the account was never opened. I didn't press the issue because I use a lot of limit orders and I am pretty sure they tack on 5 bucks for that. The $8 deal is only good for market orders. I'll look again, because if limit orders are only $8, I would be interested.
