Questrade vs Interactive Brokers
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.

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
