Potentially stupid question on brokers from a newbie

[NWAnglerTrader]

My question is, will a broker allow an individual to open 2 accounts; one with a per trade commission structure and the other with a per share commission structure?

I strongly suspect no, hence the disclaimer, but I wasn't able to confirm online and rather than embarrass myself over the phone with my broker I figured I'd anonymously ask here.

Cheers

I would bet you 100 sim bucks that you will be hearing from either Rob Morse and Matt Z within a day, in a reply here.

(And it is not a stupid question, it is an interesting one.)

P.S. (Edit) changed it from both to either, I still have a chance to make 100 sim bux.

Wait, he didn't take the bet, So how am I going to make the sim money? Ug, I am terrible at this betting thing.

thinkorswim's posted rate was per trade but I asked and they changed it to per share. That is from personal experience when TOS was a standalone vs. TDAmertirade. After the merger, they have me as a "legacy" customer and can still get per share. They still might do it..just ask.

I am here only because I want you to win the sim bet.

Anyway, this is a share/stock question. In Futures (what we do entirely) the only way to do it is per contract basis.
