Real fast, handles high volume days. Easy to customize and tailor the system for my use. Never lost feed or had problems with connectivity, pretty robust in reconnecting if I have a circuit problem on my line. Tech support responsive on questions. I like the platform and reliability and good fills are real important for me. I do lots of options trading on the platform. |

It has trading, banking, plus a lot of other services to have all my finances in one place.
Etrade did bad with its mortage services, but when it comes to brokerage it is one of the best in the industry.
I can do everything online and I usually do, the few times I had to call my issues were resolved right away.
The costumer service is great, and the website and professional trading platform is very intuitive to use. Anyone can do it. Anyone can figure out etradepro in 5 minutes.
When it comes to trading I do not need complex tools, I want something easy to use. I want to spend my time in finding good trades not in figuring out how to place them.

i predict that etrade will not survive for a long in this environment
the lion part of all brokers have all that and much more, and with much more reasonable commission.
e-trade cannot stay the competition at all.
probably, ppl who use this broker so far are a litle bit slow, and don't switch just because it was their 1st broker in 70-ties
what this broker is hoping for? |

Commissions are way to much. As far as transferring money to them they won't post the money to your account until they sit on it for 4 to 6 days. I have tried to work with ETRADE 3 times now. I went to them this last time because they offered me a special commission rate for returning traders. Each time they have let me down whether it was the platform freezing, executing trades that were not supposed to be filled (that one cost me $500) and now not being honorable enough to to honor their agreement on the availability of funds. When it says fund available after 4 business from time request was received, that should not mean 6 days. It is a great site if you do not trade much and don't mind being lied to. |

I have been using this platform for over a year now and love it. It has very good charting, L2s and with the additions of strategy scanning makes it even more powerful. Only 10 trades a month or 30 trades a quarter and you get the platform for free. However commissions are pretty high for active traders and it cuts into profits. |
