Thoughts on Ameritrade

[daytrademargin]

I use to like ameritrade until I found out they bought out quotetracker charting software. I can't stand Jerry Medved the guy who programmed quotetracker.

I cancelled my Ameritrade membership because they bought quotetracker which belongs to Jerry medved. That's my opinion on Ameritrade. You asked and I told you.

I hope this helps.

Let us know what decisions you make; it would be helpful for the rest of us.

How can Zecco have 0 commission and does anyone here have an account with them or with SOGOINVEST?

Quote from ak15:

The only way you can verify speed and accuracy of level2 is by comparing ameritrade's level2 platform with another direct access broker's platform in real time. You may also want to check whether Ameritrade incorporates Inet and Arca open books in their level2.
If active trading is a longer term goal, then there is no point in switching to a direct access broker. You might as well stay put at Ameritrade. However, If you decide to start trading actively, then PM me. I can recommend a firm. They have an excellent Level2 platform, very competitive commission rates, great service and good sturdy software. However, I don't want to promote any firm in an open forum

I'm figuring the lower commissions would help if get more active swing trading to build capital while saving for a larger account. I'm curious why you would stay with Ameritrade

Is just2trade considered a "real' direct access system? I didn't see anything about minimum number of trades or anything
