Folks

I have found Interactive Brokers to be the cheapest when trading small lots
(.01 per share upto 500 shares, .005 over that, $1 minimum, $1 option trades)
and
Freetrade by Ameritrade to be the cheapest if trading large lots
(first 20 trades free, then $ 3 per tade (upto 200 trades per month), $ 2 per trade thereafter for next 200 trades, I believe, and then $ 1 for all trades - irrespective of number of shares

Appreciate if anyone else trades cheaper and can let me know

Thanks in advance

Sorry to have to tell you that Freetrade is history as of last Friday April 29. It is now known as Ameritrade Izone. Here's a blurb from their website:

"Designed exclusively for self-sufficient investors who prefer managing their accounts online. With Ameritrade Izone you'll pay just $5 for Internet equity trades, including stop and limit orders. Plus, there's no share limits, no order handling fees and no maintenance fees."

I am using MB Trading and not total happy with the platform they provide. I am considering cybertrader.com, they are very inexpensive and provide a better trading platform.

I think you will be extremely pleased with Cybertrader. I used them for a couple of years and as far as I am concerned, there is NONE better for day trading & speed of execution. They were the pioneers for all these other brokerage houses offerring smart routing and very fast execution. I used their CyberX platform and was extemely pleased with it & Cybertrader platform is even better.

FYI

Interactive Brokers has reduced their commissions, even further

Also, they are the only broker I know that do not charge any additional option exercide/assignment fee (both Tradestation and Cyber trader charge $15 to $ 25)

Thanks

IB is also offering free real time charts now and they are not bad. Upgrading them all the time. I typically keep about a dozen hourly charts up and a couple 5 minute charts. Indicators and hand drawn trend lines are held over from session to session. Something I didn't get with paid services.
