Thanks for all the info, guys.

Yeah, I agree the $7 trades are cool (Firstrade is the same, plus I think they have VERY good customer service which is important to me), HOWEVER getting better fills is also an issue when you consider commissions.

Last week I got a "bad fill" on a stop limit order that ended up costing me $30 in lost profits. Granted, that's nothing much. BUT, if that could be avoided by paying $10 or $12 per trade for a better system, it's worth it in the long run I think.
