Looking for a good broker
questrade software looks nice and all but I am looking for best software.

Getting mixed reviews from both websites. And the Questrade 100 free trades does look like a good deal.

Just thought I'd throw in a suggestion, how about QTrade?

I've been using it to invest for a while now, however, it's on the pricy side about $19, but the level of customer service more than makes up for it. Also, very reliable platform, hasn't bugged out on me yet.

I also have an account with Questrade as well, but only for trading. It's design and network seems to be buggy at times.

I've used both.

I no longer have a questrade account.

I still have my interactive brokers account.

Questrade fucking sucks balls. Their chat is incompetent and it takes forever to get them on the phone.

^ When I switched to IB from QT... i almost jizzed my self at how amazing the TWS platform was... jesus christ its powerful. IB #1 brokerage canadian can get

if u trade penny stocks and in Huge lots like in the 10s of thousands then it might not be for u tho.

IB applies the pattern day trader rule to Canadians. So if you daytrade and have less than 25K in your account, IB is not for you
