Many banks restrict where and when you can trade stocks... as in which brokers you can use etc. because they have to monitor everything. I had some friends who had to switch accounts and such when they found this out.

I don't trade actively (especially not now with this job...) but Scottrade is good for the low fees. I'm not sure if they have a deal where you can pay lower fees with dollar-cost averaging or any schemes like that but would be great if they did.

I've used E-Trade and Ameritrade before, to me there wasn't a huge difference but both have higher fees than Scottrade.

 

I myself will have to Axe the Ameritrade account when I go to work... not like I've done anything with it for several months. I don't want high blood pressure from watching 1.5% swings in the Dow every damn day.
