TDAMERITRADE

[bubba99]

I am looking for a new broker, and saw that TDAMERITRADE has $9.99/trade prices, and no maintenance fees. Does anyone have any positive/negative information about TDAMERITRADE they may want to share?

I use them purely as custodian, and no complaints. There was a slight hiccup when they changed from Waterhouse. Apparently, they are the preferred choice over Schwab, but both seem to have a high personnel turnover.

I have both schwab and tdameritrade. I like both.Regarding commisions, for me both are the same, because in my schwab, I'm considered an active trader and have assets above a certain amount. Schwab's commision rates are slightly better for option contracts too. But the thing I like about schwab, is that there are plenty of local branch offices.

The thing I hate about schwab is that they keep forwarding me to the Asian Client Center, instead of Phoenix Operations when I call. While I can understand why they would try to do this (to personalize customer service), it's quite irritating.

They are okay. Nice and user friendly. Fees are a bit steep IMHO (unless you’re trading tens of thousands of dollars per transaction).

If you’re an active and experienced trader, there’s a relatively little-known brokerage called Interactive Brokers. They have very nice commissions (0.5 cents per share for U.S. stocks, 70 cents per contract for U.S. options) and you can even trade directly on foreign exchanges.

The catch is, they are nowhere near as user-friendly as TD Ameritrade or ETrade, and you have to pay extra for access to market data.
