Back when I was trading, I started off with ETrade. I was getting terrible execution of pinktrades so I opened an Ameritrade account to do a test. I placed multiple orders on both platforms and I would ALWAYS get my trades on Ameritrade filled before they were filled on ETrade. I dropped ETRADE!
Just opened an account w/ Zecco as they allow you to make trades with the proceeds of an executed trade immediately (how many depends on your account balance) whereas Ameritrade makes you wait until the transaction closes in a day or two. At least, that's how it used to be.
PS..I got a couple hundred thousand of the .0052's the other day even though my order was for .0060 using Zecco..
