Exactly Keith. It is expensive if you buy more than 1000 shares of something esp pennies. But I am opening this account for daytrading only for the most part. Plus as you mentioned, E-trade (and sometimes Greenline) can be excrutiatingly slow (or down) when you need them the most. For Daytrading, fast execution and confirmation is vital. I will gladly pay for better service. Also I can negotiate fees with them depending on my trading and investing styles. I'll let you know how I find them, Essam.

Keith re:Priority fees Not sure if they have just changed their fees dramaticaly to the downside but this is what I just found on the website. Welcome Schwab to Canada! :) Electronic Brokerage Fees Item Equities minimum $30 Less than $5000------------>0.75% $5,001 to $10,000---------->0.50% $10,001 to $40,000--------->0.25% $40,001 to $100,000-------->0.125% More than $100,000--------->Negotiable So looking at your $3500 trade again it will only cost the min. $30/trade or $60 Am I mistaken? Essam.
