Steve,

I have no experience with Investrade. My only online experience has been with DLJ, and they are everything you expect a brokerage house to be. I would stay with them except it costs me $40 to get into and out of a stock ($20 each trade), and I was looking at the two thousand dollars I have spent so far this year on trades. If I could get the same level of service for half the cost, then why not give it a try.

So far, Datek has made it impossible for me to spend any money with them.

E-trade also asked to sign a margin agreement to trade options. In my case, because I said I had no option experience, they didn't even let me to sell naked call. They only let me sell covered call. So I closed my account there.
