    :) thank you corn ..
    ( my spelling in english hase never been good ) ..
    I checked those two ..actually only IB is good for me as I want to trade stocks only ..
    I have quite good knowledge in the process of trading (since the start in 1.4 years made more than 90000$ , but not for me unfortutaley ( I trade on levarage and for other poeple ) ...so I finally wanted to start trading for my own but Have not much understanding of the levarege most sites offer and the comissions ..
    so far IB comission looks like nothing to me as to what I paid so far took 80 % of my profit ..
    May I trade ETFs and preffered stocks too?
     
  5. Here are the brokers I deal with; they are all good; from least expensive to most expensive: Scottrade, TDAmeritrade, CharlesSchwab, & Fidelity. To get their website, just add a .com to the end of their names.
     
  6. I had an account with GCI also at one point when I was starting out, before I knew what a bucket shop was. They did give my money back, but I was very displeased with the executions. I wrote a review about them in the broker section, funny how someone posted a few days later praising them????

    DO NOT USE GCI!!!

    TT
