Scottrade, Inc. is the first company I’ve used for trading stocks.  I started using Scottrade when I lived in California and they had the local office assist me with any questions regarding my account.  As soon as I moved to San Antonio, I was welcomed, by letter, by the San Antonio branch.  Scottrade’s overall customer service has been really good and I feel very comfortable using their company to make trades.

The commissions are very reasonable.  At $7 a trade, it’s one of the lowest priced commissions and is kept simple without having stipulations like how many trades you get per month, or requiring you to make a number of trades per month.  There is no monthly charge and all you really pay is $7 a trade.  It’s as simple as that!

Their real-time tools are also very useful, easy to use, and have made trading stocks a breeze.
