Easily by far the worst brokerage I have ever used. Hidden fees can easily amount to $35-$50/mo. Customer Non-Service is extraordinarily poor, so much so that I renamed them PoorChoice Trade in my 5+ years with them. Regardless of how much you trade or don't trade per month/quarter you will still be charged a minimum, i. E. either collected as trading fees or as a charge per month as well as another possible hidden charge per quarter. (And monthly statements are nearly impossible to attain online). I've used nearly a dozen brokers throughout these last 20 years - usually 3 at a time for availability and/or as a backup if one or the other hadn't been available. (My favorites tend to be InteractiveBrokers & ETrade [I do miss OptionsHouse]).
