Which nations regulate brokerage firms more strictly than the US, not counting tyrannies, which "regulate" everyone improperly? I mean to learn this and do business accordingly. You can help me. Since there are firms who post here, they should know, if they do business outside the US.

As of Mon. no more 8:30am. Just in time for earnings season! I don't know about the 5pm endpoint, but that is less crucial although trading to 8:00pm Eastern would be nice. This news has not yet been announced.

The explanation from O is that they are not facilitating access via Explorer 9, to which I'd switched and about which I'm not thrilled. No notice from O not to switch, which I didn't do right away. I might switch back if I can. Any views on Explorer 9 or about other brokers being picky? It...

jmhunter, thank you. I rang a library, and they also could access page. I will send you a message about my status, if you don't mind.

I still cannot access the log-in page.

The future, hopefully, is a hostile takeover by a tech-savvy firm and the riddance of top Omaha vermin who took over TD Waterhouse and not the other way around, and I exclude that other Omaha jerk, who is far from a kind, old man and humanitarian; let's see what his kids say after he...

I can't bring up the log-in page; I just get a blank screen. This never happened before.

All day today I just get a blank screen. One needn't have an account merely to bring up the log-in page.

My question concerns which regulators of brokerage firms are the strictest among the fifty states and in other countries starting with Canada. If you read my other thread, I must report that FINRA refused to do anything about alleged violations of rules. Therefore, I would like to consider doing...

rmorse, I disagree. Posters could discuss FINRA and the SEC generally or with the info I did provide.

jayre, for now I don't want to be specific, but for the benefit of others I will offer this link where one may read about brokers with general accuracy to the extent I know: http://www.broker-reviews.us One should also search for "brokerage review", e.g., because there are other sites to...

Would anyone else resond? By the way, there are things a fellow investor might tell you which a lawyer wouldn't, such as FINRA not being worth the time of day if it isn't; I hope it is. Also, lawyers would generally not get involved until and for arbitration, which I made clear is not what I'm...

shiphouse and Rodney King, one big-name stock and multiple trades in it, with various violations of rules, especially before the trading to make possible the unfavorable situation. It's really a function of the attitude of the firm. Rodney King, tell me how FINRA acted and message me if you...

In an individual situation, I mean. Please state if you have any experience with the agency you mention. My understanding is that the SEC won't do anything in individual cases. What about FINRA? Note: the situation is too urgent for arbitration. Thank you.

GoldStandard, thank you very much. I am checking TradeStation from the firm of the same name. Do you know any others to be better? I would like to profit from small gains or losses in stocks as they fluctuate within a trading range I anticipate, using market orders. In other words, simple but...

From multiple sources I've heard brokerage arbitration is institutionally unfair, e.g., because three-person panels consist of a retired brokerage executive and a local businessperson, who would tend to favor firms. Please share your view, and if possible, your experience. Would it matter if the...

JamesBond007 is correct, but I wish backtesting were the only problem. Trade Architect doesn't offer autotrading; it's only a platform.

You know, I just joined in Jul..

Primarily if you think well of them or if you know them to be inferior. The only ones I yet know are Strategy Desk from TD Ameritrade and something called Trade Station. Thank you. References to other threads are fine so you needn't repeat already typed material.

calhawk01, for what do you use it? It is supposed to be an autotrader. Jamest, TDA is phasing out SD and it will be replaced by Prodigio after they more fully integrate thinkorswim. TDA claims SD should not be used with limit orders and some other autotrading vehicles are the same, which boggles...
