Rate your broker !! Just the facts please...

The rate your broker section is too general for my taste. What I propose is a standard format of services. This way all brokers can log on and complete this form and we can benefit from the added information.

A simple "yes" or "no" next to all the services your broker offers. And then you put in your commission charges for stocks, options, futures and any other services you provide.

I am going to post the routing available... I am not experienced in futures, so let me know if the futures part needs adjusting. Also, if I forgot an ECN or some exchange please make a note.

I am sure this is a good enough format for most brokers to use. No hype, just the facts please! Yes or No to the following and then your commission breakdown for the services you provide.
