I use to like ameritrade until I found out they bought out quotetracker charting software. I can't stand Jerry Medved the guy who programmed quotetracker. I cancelled my Ameritrade membership because they bought quotetracker which belongs to Jerry medved. That's my opinion on Ameritrade. You asked and I told you.
I'm figuring the lower commissions would help if get more active swing trading to build capital while saving for a larger account. I'm curious why you would stay with Ameritrade Is just2trade considered a "real' direct access system? I didn't see anything about minimum number of trades or anything
