Thumbs down Ameritrade to TD Waterhouse = Sucks!

this is totally BS. They moved the AT accounts to TD website which is a garbage. No real-time chart, no level II, no news... They put different info on different paper. On one of the paper, it said $9.99 flat trade for 3 months. But on other paper, it said you need > 150 trades/Qtr to qualify it... WTF, that is 2.33 trade/day in average. Yet, on another paper, it said the Real-time data feed is $250/month, unless you are qualify for the 150 trade/Qtr.

I am totally suprised by that stupid decision. I am going to transfer my account to InteractiveBrokers. The TD is fxxking stupid. I called their Rep and they agree that is stupid as well.

That's a bummer to hear! I thought they would be the slickest and easiest broker. Too much money on Sam Waterson? I just think IB is super bare bones, but hey i am a yahoo finance guy, so what do i know?

I'm confused about what you're talking about.
They have a new website, TDameritrade...

and it is 9.99 flat fees, no restrictions.

ic why you guys don't have the problem. I think the stupid policies only apply to Ameritrade.ca, it doesn't affect the US side. Damn! Does any Canadian Ameritrade user get the same problem?

Both of them suck, I've tried ameritrade and TD, but Scottrade beat them all, just because of their good services and funding reliability.
