two horrible companies but which is better? http://www.tradeingroups.com/tradeking-vs-scottrade-you-decide/
"Scottrade Elite" their day trading platform will not allow orders with stops.You must first enter the market and then try and place a stop after your filled and in the market. When you do try and place your stop after the fact the order will be denied until the current price is at least .10 above your original entry and then you may still be denied the stop placement. What kind of "Day Trading Platform" will not allow stop orders and profit targets. A horrible one.
