2 cents a share? why so steep? Can we assume this will come down if your volumes are substantial? Although this compares favourably to TDWaterhouse Canada and Etrade Canada both @ 3 cents a share. There's barely any reason to trade Cdn markets as it is .lol.
Steve, you listed some equity and index options that are not available to US such as UK/Germany but not Japan and Belguim. does that mean that US trader can trade these options? Thanks
Japan's are CFTC approved and thus tradeable in the states. I'm not sure about the others but you can check the CFTC web site for details or wait a day or two for the formal notice with details to be released. CDN: 2 cent a share. that's 2 cent a share canadian dollars and includes all costs. looks like a good deal to me - especially when converting to a real currency
How does it work if your acct is in US dollars? I guess each transaction is converted to C$, or do you have to set up a seperate account?
Why would you be concerned with rrsp's. If you are a trader you should not be concerned about that. rrsp's are a lot of nonsense anyway. The governments's way of keeping tabs on your money .
what are you smoking? obviously you don' t make much money since you are not concerned with the amount of tax you pay.
