    No one likes inactivity fees. And no one likes demo accounts that print wildly innacurate fills...

    Inaccurate fills happen to those who don't how the software and data work together.

    And can't scratch together 10 trades in 90 days and whine because they will charge you measly $10.

    Geez, I think even I can manage that, including sometimes holding single trades for a month at a time, lol.

    don't be dumb. don't talk about something you have no experience with. i have experience with it. so don't say stupid things...

    you're free to your opinion!

    well that's one trade down and 9 to go. but you're a successful trader $10 is nothing to you. but after all these years they felt the need to change things so they could start beefing up that bottom line and getting rid of those deadbeat accounts...

    not necessarily. but it's not an unreasonable request it's just that I don't like companies moving the goalposts. how many years have they been in business? and all the sudden they feel the need to make a NEW rule. that indicates poor business planning. after all these years. but i think they used to require like a $500 min deposit but i guess they got rid of that rule at some point! so many rules changes. what's next? if you trade options you have to do jumping jacks?

    definitely. been looking at them for sure. not a big fan of their app or web based trading platform I must say though.

    There are third party desktop applications that connect to TDA and use TDA for data and trading.
