I transferred my 401K/IRA $ over to Scottrade years ago because they were well known and had a local branch. I despise having to do business using a phone. Scottrade sold out to Ameritrade. The move was basically bumperless. Both offered free checking, free checks and phoneless contacts but I lost being able to go to a local branch.

Now, TD Ameritrade has been acquired by Charles Schwab and so far I don't like their business practices. They want you to do all business over the phone and nothing on-line. I haven't decided if I'm gong to stay with them or transfer to E Trade, Fidelity of someone else.

For those of you who trade: Who do you use and do you like their system?
