For Canadian trader, Questrade used CyberTrader and has free Island and unlimited amount of shares $9.95 a trade. That is what I pay.

One good "rule" always wait for the setup, not the buy signal. For example, earlier this week QQQ gave a buy signal, but came back down, resulting in a nice set up for a long entry (in my opinion). I guess this relates to greed and fear - don't be greedy and jump at the first buy signal!

From the Nasdaq, Just enter the stock symbol. Will give a report to show what MMs and ECNs are most active in a stock: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/static/tdhome.stm Example report...

Not my intent to bash IB. however, under threads like this I notice almost 1 in 6 topics involve IB issues (even if these issues are unfounded)! Flip throught the pages and count: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2 Perhpas the company should work to address...

IB is associated with or owns the market making firm TimberHill - symbol TMBR on Level 2. I imagine they send all orders to TMBR whenever possible, probably does not help the fills...

"Questrade may not have the PDT rule but with a minimum round trip commission of $38, how many trades per day do you want to make?" Not sure how much you are paying , but on Island you can trade on CyberTrader for $9.95, unlimited shares. Others routes are .005/share but I don't use them. And...

There is a Swifttrade office there now, is this what he is talking about?

SMH is a great trading stock. Very high beta and it swings at least $1 intra-day. Even better than the QQQ, I think. It is quite chartable on a 5 or 15 min chart. You don't have to fight for pennies, just ride a .10 - .50 move. Day to day swings work well too.

I use cognifast as a back up - pretty cheap http://www.cognifast.com/main.php?cmd=home&cogid=123bestrates&name=123BestRates.com&url=http://www.123bestrates.com

FYI from my inbox, of interest to active traders. This is the best deal in Canada that I know of (that's why I use it) Have used prop and cyber platofrms at Quest. ** Questrade is pleased to announce that all trades on CyberTrader are now a flat $9.95 for an UNLIMITED amount of shares...

Here is what I see: http://www.questrade.com/join/fees_webtrader_equity_options.html best to email the company for clarifacation. Cheers all.

check out the # of locations that are opening now. Canada is becoming saturated. Wonder if any branches actually make money! you know the market is at a top when....swifttrade is open branches around the world at a faster rate than McDonalds! swifttrade.com - Locations

for those of us in Canada, Questrade.com using CyberTrader has $9.95 trades for an unimited amount of shares. And I see depth for most OTC BB stocks if they have depth. It is direct access trading

Maybe they are trying the MLM expansion method? Swifttrade.com in Canada will give you a franchise for approx. 60k US investment, 30k of that is free capital to cover expenses Must run, I have to make some profit for my upline hehe

LOL, a newbie is asking about rates! Suprised that Don (Bright) is not all over this one...

There are ways you can simulate (stimulate?) an uptick using ECNs. On the Nasdaq it is techncially called the Bid Rule. The inside Bid must be equal to or higher than the last trade for an uptick situation to occur. Ergo, if you step up, or make the software step up, with an equal bid no matter...

Not much better than a CyberTrader retail deal. 1000 shares @ 1 cent = $10 exactly the cost of a CyberTrader trade of up to 5000 shares! Go retail and keep 100% from day one and don't need licences. I agree one can't scalp for pennies on CyberTrader, then again when you are paying $10 for...

It depends what platform. I trade an account using Questrade's WebTrader. That is the price I quoted. $17.95 flat for cheap Canadian stocks with NO ecn fees. And I don't pay ECN fees for US stocks. Apples to oranges you are comparing. ;-)

Bradley is kind of tricky. They say that it does not predict direction only the turn date. So even if the forcast points up it may not move in that direction. It has been accurate in the past so I'd give it a close look.

As far as I know yes Questrade will let you short under $5. I called them and if the stock is available to short you can do it. But best to call yourself. Any other Quest users here?
