A few years ago when I day traded I used Datek but since then I've been out of the market and have assets in E*trade...do you recommend them for a person who plans to do 4 to 6 trades per month?

Thanks folks.

Can't comment on Etrade, but I do use Ameritrade and they are $11 a trade right now. They have all the tools I could ask for a more (I'm not a bigtime trader or anything). I make about 8 trades a month lately.

Agreed. Except the $7 trades are only for listed stocks. Any stock under a buck is like 12. Anyways, I use Scottrade.

ameritrade user here, though I was thinking of switching to etrade for the cheaper costs and apparently pretty stable and impressive trading platform. I'm satisfied with ameritrade for now though.
