Looking at not day trading but maybe a few trades a week, should I be looking at IB.ca, questtrade, or something else? Anything I should stay away from? Thanks.
I use tradefreedom. Very basic platform, no bells and whistle. Like any brokers, they are not perfect but i am reasonably happy with them.
I agree. Questrade (cybertrader platform) is a good weapon. Tradefreedom and IB, do not like their platforms.
I trade with Questrade, and they are pretty good although last week they dropped the ball a few times after hours. The alerts with Cybertrader elite work great for my style. Allows me to have a stop and limit outs active at the same time.
Please help me to understand why people even ask this question. Most Canadian brokers commissions are $20 to $30 per trade for pre-historic trading systems. IB commission is $1 to $5 (based on $1 per 100 shares ) for one of the most advanced trading platforms. How a rational person / trader / investor can even ask the question what brokers to use?????
