I don't know what broker you are using but if it is Ameritrade(or any web-based broker) and you are a pretty active trader, then I have to say you are spending too much unnecessary money. The commissions are the same as a direct access broker but fills and reliability are worse than a direct access broker.
As least with Freetrade you have a major discount in commissions. I say go ahead and switch to Freetrade as soon as possible.
