I got lucky and have in my personal account $5 trades for Ameritrade....I pay $10 in my Roth. They had a deal years back if you funded with $5000 you could get $5 trades. I have always used their basic platform...I just starting using Think or Swim and called with a question....they ended up making an appointment with me to give me a 45 minute educational tour this next week for free.

Thanks for the info about included L2 OTC. I signed up with "tradek..." originally because of what i thought was lowest cost only to find out when I tried to buy during initial surge that I would have to wait till that .01. I didn't want to risk moving to another broker because I thought the stock was going to maintain the penny and then when it dipped I thought it would rebound quicker than it did. I'm still confident in the long run but did miss out on opportunity during the dip so will be looking to add asap and then will definitely transfer later on when price increases.

The potential here is huge. I'm no expert in stocks but I know a good business plan and from the info I've read, I can't see how this thing doesn't take off and is why I may be late to this party but Its just starting so I'm taking that in stride. Perfect storm brewing with $MJTK!

Bears yes they have honored that $5 for many years now including Pinks!!! I just started using Think or Swim the other day so I am no expert I should know more after my educational tour they have scheduled which is a service they offer for free. If you read Sleeks link here it does a good comparison amongst the platforms and it says that Think or Swim is a pro platform that you do not need to pay for or have any account minimums....

I didn't think you were that old Sleek. I would've sworn you were one of them there millennial uber genius types ;)


I've used Etrade for almost 20 years so I have a great deal with them.

$10 seems to be the standard commission, but the key is free level 2 for all OTC, including pink sheets

Here is a good breakdown:
