Best OTC Brokers

[oklabluebird]

Let me rephrase my question……..

I am currently looking for an online Broker, preferably two of them.
These will be equity cash accounts. No Margins

I have tried to take my time and look at a lot of Brokers, have read a lot of fine print, have I missed anything you might be aware of? Some have an extra .005 per share or % per trade on stocks under $1, limit to amount of shares you can trade. Account fees etc.

I have narrowed my list down to these Brokers: TD Ameritrade*, E trade, Charles Schwab, ThinkorSwim*, and MB Trading.
*Together but separate if I understand correctly.

However I am open to suggestions.
…………………………………………………………………
I realize even brokers will do a little paid promoting.
So…………………
If you, or someone you know, have or have had an account with one of these Brokers, or another could you share experiences with me.
My questions of interest would be:
Ease of opening an account.
Any problems trading Otcbb and Pinks?
Any problems trading sub penny shares?
Any extra fees for buying or selling more than 10k, 100k or a million shares?
Any custodial fees?
Any “hidden” fees
Any low monthly trading transaction fees, (less than 10, 20, 30, 50 trades per month)?
How are their trading platforms, level 2 etc.?
How is their customer service, services?
Has there been any problems transferring funds into and out of your accounts.
Have there been any problems with your accounts.
Extra actives in the account that might not have been yours.
Transactions not showing up in a timely manner, settlements not showing up?

I ask all these ?s because when you Google etc.,you hear of some complaints, some very mean ones, and of course the Touting.
Then when you start DDing brokers, and really start digging, some brokers can get a little scary.

So I’m hoping for just real traders letting me know who they would use as a broker or whom they have been pleased with.
