Brokerages make tons of money. It's almost all electronic now a days. Sure there's a large capital outlay and they probably pay plenty in fees to the various exchanges but for the most part business has increased and costs have decreased.

They value each and every customer. They'd rather not make as much off of you than loose your business.

Can't hurt to ask.

Only thing is that if they say no, which I think is unlikely, you'll be faced with a psychological dilemma. Their refusal may make changing brokers more of an imperative than you're probably feeling right now.

I didn't hear back from Scottrade for a while. I was almost ready to make a move when I decided to call and ask about their decision. Come to find out the guy filled out the wrong form. I got 10 free trades because of his mistake and a huge discount after he submitted proper paperwork. I'm happy for now...
