Online stock trading???

Does anyone trade online if so which site is the best deal :???: I have been going thru a friend but I would like to try the market myself

Scottrade.com is the best I think....
They only charge you 7 bucks/trade.

From talking with a lot of people scottrade.com has a lot of headaches. $7 a trade is nice but you gotta look at what else they offer vs other brokerages. Majority of people I know use Ameritrade or Etrade. I use Etrade and like it, really havent had any problem with them, and when you get to power etrade level, their customer service is dope. Only thing I don't like about them is that they're slow to recieve shares from companies after a company does a reverse split or forward split, but otherwise that's about it. Choicetrade, I haven't heard anything bad about, but they really don't give you to many features to use, but they do have $5 trades.

I use Ameritrade which is now call TDameritrade. Its about $10 a trade but very easy to use.

Ameritrade APEX, or ETrade Pro are the top two for daytraders. Some use scotty, and Choiceturd.

I use TDAmeritrade APEX. Happy, but i must be honest, Etrade Pro is calling my name (they have more expensive trades if i remember correct, but they include L2s for pinks, which i pay 55$ a month for)

Thanks for reminding me, gonna call TDa and see if they will lower my special price anymore. I pay 9 dollars even per trade right now, i want to pay 8 per trade :D

More expensive trades by $1, but you could make 5 and a half more trades with the money you'd be saving by getting free l2s :D.
