These are the two worst.
OP what is your account value, how many trades per month, etc?

How come you say "worst"? Have you looked at them lately?
I almost switched away from them when they were TD Waterhouse -- but since they've become TD Ameritrade, things seem good to me.

If you know what you're doing Interactive Brokers is the best.

Account value is tiny (less than 5g) and I'd like to minimize the trade costs. With so little money, I can't be profitable doing more complex or hedged strategies due to the trading costs.

I'd go with scottrade. Can be somewhat unreliable though during volatile market.

That's what I have right now - the software is crap though and they're not the cheapest. Long short strategies run me $28, which is useless. Same goes for any portable alpha bets or value premium etc. Basically can't do anything that i learn in my finance classes :cry;
Sharebuilder I'd say avoid for the time being. Their servers at the moment have been slow as molasses lately from all the activity and they have sent out messages that they can't handle the load. Some of my trades take almost an hour to execute. Just been a bad bad experience during the turbulence.Originally posted by: Blieb
I wonder how sharebuilder is now that they are ING ... looks like decent trading fees ...
Most of my stuff is at Fidelity, which has horrible stock trading fees unless you're a gold or silver level ... most of my stuff is in no load, no transaction fee mutual funds though ...
