    Electronic funding with Ameritrade does take a few days. I have missed an opportunity or three waiting on funds to become available, but my fault as well for not making the transfers sooner I guess.

    Seeing all these posts, I realize TD Waterhouse here in Canada SUCKS.

    $29 per trade, minimum
    No pre/after hours ability
    2 decimal places

    I really need to switch companies... what exactly is TD Ameritrade? Is that the US version of TD Waterhouse, or can I switch over? How is Scottrade?

    They are both owned by the Toronto Dominion Bank. Waterhouse is for Canadian res. and Ameritrade is for US residnets only. You want me to get you a P.O. box? It's easy all the illegals have one.

    I have a scottrade account and I can do trades to the fourth decimal and get charged $7 per trade. They charge extra for penny stocks, $.005.

    TD has branches everywhere. If you bring them a money order or certified check, your funds will be available the next day...rather than wait for a tranfer to post.

    Is ScottTrade available in Canada, though?

    Scootrade is not licensed in Canada but I found this message in another message board that might be of help to you.

    "Interactive Brokers (http://www.interactivebrokers.ca/www...ivebrokers.com).

    Minimum commission of $10/month, but commissions are only $1 for a US trade, and $2 for a Canadian trade.

    They allow the purchase of equities from Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, Japan, and a few of the other far-east exchanges.

    I've had my account for a few months now, and am extremely impressed, even though I just use it for lame things like Canadian ETF's. "

    Level II service on TD Ameritrade...

    Anyone know if this is free or at a cost to utilize if you have TD Ameritrade accounts?
