A friend and I are interested in locating a retail firm in Canada that allows you to automate your trading and that doesn't go by the name of interactivebrokers. Its not that we don't like IB, but their customer support has been a nightmare to many and we'd prefer someone else. I spoke to...

Thanks for the heads up man. Ive been preparing to open an account wiht them for a while. What doenst make sense is, when you call and discuss an account opening with them, they seem to be here in Canada, but when you have a customer service issue, they outsource to India. Is my...

https://www.canada.etrade.com/pages/powere/qualify.shtml that above is the link for the platform fees. As you can see between 30-149 trades per month, you end up paying 99.99 per month platform fee. I dont see myself doing more than 149 trades a month, so to me, its a moot point.

Yeah, Im definitely leaning towards Etrade using their Power Etrade Pro software. 1) $99.99 per month if you do between 20-149 trades OR >250K in assets 2) 9.99 charge for all shares on all exchanges 3) 35.00 for broker assisted trades 4) ECN Fees ONLY when you remove liquidity...

I checked their site thoroughly and I dont see the difference in a limit vs. a market order. Here's the link for the costs of Power Etrade Pro Trading Platform. https://www.canada.etrade.com/splash/profees.shtml 1) It IS a direct access broker 2) You can still route things Auto 3)...

Okay, fair enough. But, I place limit orders basically 99% of the time. So, knowing that, what is your opinion of their Power Etrade Pro software.

Yeah, I dont mind the 0.005 cents charge per share. Im not in this to scalp. AT the same time, I still want Direct Access. and frankly, between, INET, BRUT, ARCA, most volume goes through those 3 anyways, so it really doesnt matter.

What about Power Etrade Pro, their highest level of software. They claim it to be unequivocally a Direct Access Trading Platform. Downloadable onto your computer. Im thinking about them, but if there is something i need to know, let me know now. Has anyone used Power Etrade Pro...

I checked out Fidelity Active Trader. Problem is, I cant obtain the status I want with them. I love the Gold option of $8.00 flat trade. I dont know if I will do 120+ trades per year to obtain Gold Status. And my account, while decent, is no where near $1 million in assets. So...

I have been seriously thinking about them as a Canadian Investor. However, I am also debating Etrade Pro as well. Whats your thoughts on Etrade.

I believe, from having had numerous conversations with them, that their service is excellent. But, from my research, I have chosen NOT to go with them for three reasons, all of which are price related, that I simply cannot get over. 1) Is the fact that they charge ECN fees, Whether you ADD...

A phone call would do A LOT. Explanations become easier and innuendo is cut down tenfold. And those with insults tend to fade away because they dont want to actually want to step to the plate and see what someone knows or doestn know. All I know is that I will NEVER consider a synthetic...

Wow, its amazing I tell ya. Another freak who'd rather critique than learn. Again buddy, give me your number or ill give you mine and we can see who is full of crap and who isnt. Its the ultimate equalizer. If your the man you say you are, youll talk to me in person, not face to face...

Not that I cant or wont, but Im just dont here bro. Done with this conversation and the tripe of some posters on here that want to assume they know something I dont. If someone has some strategy that they think is great, Im always willing to listen. But, right now, im done answering...

If you bothered to read my post, youd know that in my preferred scenario I dont just sit around and do nothing. I continue to generate a return by writing covered calls in subsequent months. But you didnt bother reading my posts and its quite clear, but I dont blame you, they were long. In...

Appreciate your response. One thing to point out though is that I never intended on selling THE ENTIRE AMOUNT COVERED for the Nov 06 calls. I would never cover my entire long stock position with a call of the Nov 80 calls for 2.50. I would only do as much as delta has allowed me. But, i...

Mystic, For the record, ill give this my best shot and if it doesnt work out then we can agree to disagree or I can give you my phone number and ill let you call me and ill explain it to you by phone. Im serious about that too. Its up to you. I dont really care if others agree or...

lol.....this post is funny. especially the last paragraph. Its why i dont wast time with people like you. But, ill give this one more shot in the next post to explain it to mystic man. So that I can use his posts for reference.

I apologize if i came off sounding as though you guys didnt get what he was doing. All I meant to say was that no one was addressing it directly. First off, yes, delta my friend. Change in option price vs. 1 dollar change in stock price. I always mix up delta and gamma. I certainly...
