E*Trade is good for investors and long biased active traders.
Advantages:
Good Pro trading platform with a nice Level 2. I love their Level 2.
Nice attractive charts
A lot of features on their website for investors.
The application process was uncomplicated and no hassle.
Easy funding process via Ach.
Customer service was good and willing to go out of their way to help me.
Disadvantages:
Hard to find shares to short for small caps.
No software or website to tell you what shares are available to short.
Commissions are high.
Need to make over 30 trades per quarter to keep using the Pro trading platform.
Sometimes the Java based Pro trading platform freezes.
Overall 4 stars. Good but not perfect.
