  1. Let me first emphasize and disclose that I have no agenda or investment banking relationship with this firm. I am always on the lookout for a better deal.

    Did any of you guys read this below & does this mean if you trade the DOT to NYSE or ISLD for Nasdaq that your only commission is .005 per share??? This seems pretty sweet.

    Yes, let me clarify. If you trade via NYSE Direct, that is also free. If you trade via AMEX for NYSE or Nasdaq, that is also free.

    Sorry, this maybe a dumb question, but what's NYSE Direct?
    How many shares can you send thru it?
    And how's the quality of execution compared to sending to NYSE specialists, which we all know sucks.

    Thanks.

    This is the reason I´m opening an acct wit them. (Commissions)
    I have had an (email) chat with their customer support and I´m going to open an acct now.

    I also like their Platinum software with the use of BULLETS.

    BUT BE SURE TO ASK FOR THE ELITE TRADER DEAL SINCE YOU WILL BE SET UP FOR A $5,- FLAT RATE IF YOU DON´T !!!!!
    (This is their regular deal):mad:

    Great firm for stocks. I have used them in the past couple of months and the customer service is good.


    They currently switched Broker/Dealers and now option trades have to be EMAILED into the firm before they will execute the order. I used to be able to execute orders from there clearing firm's software platform , CCS trader pro. NO longer.

    I hope this changes as Pointdirex has a great product it just has never been a great options player
