  I have used scottrade for over 5 years and found the execution and service very good.  This is good for people who trade sometimes and who want to keep up to date on their account

  Scottrade is quick and cheap. However, there's not a lot of research tools. There's also not a lot in the way of options, etc. Their reps are great in customer service but aren't really experienced traders....of course that's the story with many firms.

  Been useing for three years, really like the local office concept and being able to go in and talk face to face,

Resarch is adiquate but with so much on the web extensive at the site is not necessary and will keep their costs and commissions down
