I use National Discount Brokers (NDB) and recommend it without reservations. 1-800-888-3999, ndb.com Give it a test drive: ndb.com I have no affiliations other than satisfied. Here's why:Excellent website You can have one frame or three frames on your screen! Multiple frames is AWESOME. The three frames are trading, quotes, and account balance. The setup is easy.Trading screen - you can use decimals!!!!! You pay one commission per day for same side trades for any number of shares on the OTC BB Website limit order $19.95 Website market order $14.95 Phone-in limit order $27.95 Phone-in market order $24.95 Listed stocks same price as above up to 5000 shares plus .01 per share over 5000. You can specify GTC, Day order, marker or limit. Great preview of order (with current RT Ask figured in) plus verification before it sends. If you already own the stock, it will let you know.Multiple accounts Easy account switching and account window updates.Free real-time quotes screen You can specify BB stocks, i.e. DGIV. You can specify single quotes or up to 3 lists of 10 quotes. You can also specify which 7 of 23 indicators you want displayed. You must manually update the quotes in the quote window (no real-time updating). However you can have the last trade quotes from your current quote list scroll by at the bottom of your window. Neat feature. Also, full quote info is available for BB stocks. For every trade you make, they give you 100 more real-time quotes. And I don't think they do the subtraction right. I think I actually use more than they subtract from my total. With any modest amount of trading I don't think you'll ever run out. You get a bunch to start out with too.Account/portfolio balance screen This one is kewl. It shows your previous day's balance, as well as your current day's portfolio with RTQ's and daily value. Keeps track of your average buy-in price and calculates your total return in real-time.Technical Analysis screen You can even ADD indicators like moving averages, ...Zack's screen Show me the numbers. Little or no info on BB stocks.Links screen Plenty to do research, but too many links to list. can trade options and mutual funds. Account summaries each month are legible and the end of year is adequate. NDB confirmations have been excellent. Better than expected price sometimes and almost always fast executions. I say almost always eventhough I've rarely been disappointed. You can get confirmation by email or automated phone call (which you can setup by their website or by phone) and they will send a confirmation through the mail. Regards, Tod in Dallas
