Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

Quote from Odgnut:

A few other things to note:

1. when you place a new order....your old order in that particular stock isn't automatically cancelled. I inadvertently bought/shorted more stock than I wanted because I didn't realize this.
True, but the confirmation box will say, in the warnings section, "you have an open order for this security".
 
Quote from CeNY:

Anyone know how the hell to clear out closed positions in the open position window???? I have a backlog of 3 days worth of activity in there.
My experience is that they stay there until they clear.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I hate to think what will happen tomorrow at 2:15.
Same thing as the last FOMC meeting. Quotes disappear a few seconds after the announcement.
 
Total failure. What a disgrace. I had to log off and back on. All my other brokers handled it with no problem. Schwab was running 20-30 seconds behind for 20 or 30 minutes.

No one should try to trade with this POS during fast market conditions.
 
anyone find out how where total daily commissions are listed? I know that your account history shows your commissions for each trade....but if you have a ton of trades it's not very convenient to sit down and add it all up everyday.

It would be hard to believe that a broker as large as Schwab wouldn't list your commissions out somewhere.
 
yes but the commissions column doesn't total up the commissions for you...plus it has a million older trades that hasn't cleared...but wouldn't apply to your current daily commissions.

I called in to CS and they confirmed that they do not total up daily commissions anywhere. Completely absurd.

Yes sorry, you're correct. I expected some loss of function with the new platform but it also has a lot of annoying features. Obviously designed by people who never traded in their life. Why they would screw up a perfectly good platform and expect us to use this POS is puzzling.

Schwab should give everyone 100 free trades to make up in part for their total meltdown today. What good is a platform if it fails when you need it most?

It speaks volumes that they don't have a rep come on here and respond to questions.
