Etrade Pro is a good platform and their price for what you get is worth it! Making 30 trades per quarter to keep what Esignal charges $500 a month for is worth the trades. I love Etrade and all the free ETF trades and their awesome customer service!
Etrade Blows the doors off Fidelity, Schwab and other junk, I love Etrade!
I don't see how it is so great if it has all these issues. The OP has had freezeups, aborted platform launches, etc.
