With Well Trade I think that you need $25,000 in order for you to qualify.<BR/>Furthermore you don't have to sign up for any package or banking product which could cost you in lost yield on your cash being parked.Dividend Growth Investorhttp://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-7892743448540288052008-10-09T12:55:00.000-07:002008-10-09T12:55:00.000-07:00Abdul,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by.

My experience with Zecco is mainly purchasing large cap liquid stocks, trading at more than $20, whose bid/ask spread is typically one-two cents. ( i don't trade A/H). I am actually pretty happy with their executions at Zecco as I always check my price filled versus ARCA or BATS.<BR/><BR/>How does purchasing 50 shares at $20 at Zecco versus purchasing 50 shares at $19.99 + $1commision at IB differ? <BR/><BR/>There's one thing as an investor that you should realize and it is that spreads will vary but commissions are fixed.Dividend Growth Investorhttp://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-25453304340237093432008-10-07T23:57:00.000-07:002008-10-07T23:57:00.000-07:00You need to be cautious with "free" trades. There is a cost involved called slippage.
