Efficient

I have been trading stocks and futures for over 20 years and certainly much has changed. I guess I'm happy to say that I've changed too. Back in the day I relied on my brokers for everything and they relied on me for the commissions. It all seemed fine cause that's the way it was. Then eTrade came a Read more...

Atrocious (nothing like I've ever seen before)

Customer service is one of the most important things to look for in an online broker. Due to the low commission structure, Generic Trade's customer service really is atrocious (nothing like I've ever seen before). When asking a question about the wording of their policy, I was met with the response Read more...

true to its name

They are pretty generic but they get the job done. Costs are kept down but don't expect many features. Though its generic it is quality it is not a fly by night operation.

Recommended broker

competitive rate and decent margins, without having to go through all of the hassle trying to convince someone that I'm going to trade enough to 'deserve' it

I'm impressed

I've been trading for about 10 years and just found these guys. I have to say, I was really surprised. The rate is really low, but what is different is that when I started trading they didn't nickel and dime me to death with fees or have brokers call to get me to work with them. It's just what it sa Read more...

Just what I was looking for

"I haven't been with them too long, but so far they have given me exactly what I wanted in a brokerage firm. I just wanted a fast platform (and execution) with a competitive rate and decent margins, without having to go through all of the hassle trying to convince someone that I'm going to trade eno Read more...
