Colin: At Castle, I believe the $19.95 commissions cover up to 5000 shares. If you get filled in multiple partials within five minutes you are charges only one commission. Although recently, they have begun to charge $1 additional for each partial beyond the first. I don't trade BB stocks, and don't know if Castle supports them or not. As far as I know, the charge the same $19.95 commission regardless of the exchange or type of order and with the same 5000 share limit. I don't believe they have GTC orders, although they have 'day' orders. I assume if you want to leave an order in for two weeks that you would need to re-enter the order every morning (?). Castle does offer Level II quotes with their 'KillKey' software for a cost of $150/mo. This fee is waived for certain monthly volume. Also, their minimum account size is now $10k to open an account, although I think it would be difficult to successfully daytrade with that amount. Check out their web site for more information. castleonline.com Good Luck, -Eric
