Etrade DOES have an online broker service, but I don?t know if it?s for the global accounts. I don?t have a global account with them, just 2 regular ones - IRA and straight brokerage account. They charge me 9.99 per trade for either account. Also, the fee is 9.99 regardless of how many trades are required to fill my order. I purchased 30,000 shares more of MEO two weeks ago, it took three purchases, and the total fee was 9.99. I like ETRADE overall, the only thing I don?t like us that I can?t get real time quotes on Canadian stocks.
