What is your favorite online broker?

Hi,
After much analysis i chose InteractiveBrokers due to their SDK to develop my own programs. It could test the SDK before sign in and I found it had what I needed.
On the trading side costs are ok, web trading ok, charts not bad, could be better.

Think or Swim

1. Platform is easy to navigate
2. Execution is quick and reliable
3. Trade cost is great
4. Able to trade pinkies and other types of stocks
5. Great customer service

TD Ameritrade has think or swim platform now so its like 2 brokers in 1. I also like the other platforms they have and the flat no hidden fee rates.

TD Ameritrade/TD Waterhouse (Can) is useful once you make trades for a
number of months. I find it's like anything else: when you "earn" a good record
and your account remains in good standing for some time, you can pretty much
call them up and they'll do whatever you want. Make miracles happen, if you
*believe* in miracles. Just have to build a *relationship* with them. They
REALLY hate it when you call them back and complain about commissions.
Even when they're right, they'll always compromise to shut me up. I do like that.

zecco and sogotrade is the best. especially zecco is better than scottrade if you play penny stocks

I currently use Charles Schwab.

They are definitely not the cheapest, but the quality of their service is tremendous.

They are ranked # 1 in online brokerages by JD Power.

I have been pleased.

Hopefully I will make enough in the next quarter to open a level 2 platform account Tradestation etc... But I still am learning the ropes, so Schwab is good for the level of experience that I have right now.
