My long term trading usually amounts to a few times a year but my short term maybe 2-3 times monthly. If I make $200-$300 on a short term trade I'm happy. If all I get is bid/ask from level I, I get that with Scottrade. That's not worth paying for. I thought it would have more than that.
As far as giving my credit card, it's not that I don't trust a reputable company like this one it's just that I don't want to sign up for something that only provides something as you say, bid/ask which I can get anywhere.
