All these cheaper commission brokerages sound shady as heck. OptionsHouse seems to be the only non-shady one.

According to this site, Sogotrade execustions are slow and "sometimes take minutes." http://www.brokerage-review.com/stock-broker-reviews/sogotrade-review.aspx

Oh, another requirement I have is free withdrawals. It's fine if it's a check they have to mail to me.

I will say, Scottrade's customer service has always been phenomenal, whether I call, email, or stop by an office.

Some bad reports of Just2Trade here, including open orders randomly being canceled, and wrong cash balances and other account balance discrepancies: http://www.brokerage-review.com/compare/ameritrade-vs-just2trade-review.aspx

Do you use them?

Here is a comparison of some. There are some extra fees for some of them, though, like an extra fee for afterhours trading. On April 11, 2013, Just2Trade was issued a temporary cease-and-desist from FINRA. Source: http://www.finra.org/Newsroom/NewsReleases/2013/P239716

Bump for reviews?

Scottrade is $7 per trade regardless of size (sometimes it's a few cents more). Is there anywhere cheaper? I've seen some places that are between $0.99 and $5 per trade but they have inactivity fees. Sometimes I go a few months without trading. I'm very happy with Scottrade's service but...

How does one confirm from the tape if the real buyer or seller is at that level?

A more helpful post would've been to say: "Perhaps due to your rather dull chart setting. The following things make it dull: 1) 2) 3) Use things that other traders are monitoring, including: 1) 2) 3) Here is how each of those things is helpful and relevant: 1) a) b) c)...
