Keith: The $30 flat fee was for US trades using PC Quote I believe. I haven't used PCQuote yet. So far here is the type of commissions I've paid: CDN trade example(CDN$): Online: Bought 2000 shares of a $2.50 stock on TSE--->$30 commission Online: Sold the 2000 shares minutes later----->$34.50 commission US Trades(US$): Online: Buy 10,000 shares of a $0.29 stock on Nasdaq--->$30 Online: Sold the 10,000 shares $0.92---->$30 Online: Buy 1000 shares of a $6.25 stock on Nasdaq--->$15.62 Online: Sell 1000 shares @ $10--->$30 Phone: Buy 1000 shares of a $11.25 Nasdaq stock--->$56.87 Phone: Sell 1000 shares--->$30 I really can't find a pattern or a reason for the commission amounts. I have a range of $15 to $96 commission on my trades depending on price and method (online vs phone). So far the inconsistencies have been heavily in my favour so I haven't brought it up ;) One day I'll ask them but I don't care right now because I like the speed of their service and I trust they will fix any problems that might arise. Let me know how your cdn trading goes Keith. Take care, Essam.
