OT: Strangely enough, E-Trade phased out International trading a year or two ago, but continued providing real time quotes for 8 international markets for free...and that was working for me since I trade gray stocks for simplicity at tax time.
Level 1 was all I was using at E-Trade, I just need to see what the bid/ask is in Canada and use the exchange rate to make sure I'm not getting robbed by the arbitrage....it's usually just a fraction of a penny difference.
I'm a slow and steady investor...although the ability to place iceberg bids for some of the smaller stocks I take large positions in would also be nice.
Really, I just need international quotes and a broker that allows me to trade in gray and dark stocks in the US....as I hear Ameritrade and Schwab are restricting access to pink sheets and the like.
Maybe IB is the way to go....although the 0.005 per share commission can get expensive on some of the lower priced stocks I buy. Who do you use?
