ETRADE gives attractive attraction Trade breaks and periodic free trade bonuses with the right amounts of cash equivalent in total accounts. Presently I ues them on a day by day basis. RBC and CIBC are good for some accounts with sufficient cash equivalent. A few others are good if you seldom bother them or use few tools etc or trade small multiples... Individuals may give good insights if they know and like you but these above mentioned will expect you to know what you are up to and customer service will be helpful to a point. TD had some good Customer Service and even some fair Qualified Traders but to get ahead there many were often coy at best, which was sometimes a help if you knew the individual. TD newbe employees also had to learn how to play within their system or soon move on. Shop around, look at each companies slate of producte, offers, services, platforms, etc. and see what you can get to best match what you can actually do. To depend on them to do for you is and has been out of service/style for 15-20 years now. Forums like this one are the replacement for Client serveces and individual learning etc..
