Ever since the switch, about 1 in 6 stocks reflect the wrong purchase price. I contacted my local branch manager about a month ago and he stated "it's a known problem and is being worked on". For me however, this screams of incompetence and I'm moving my accounts. Beware.

Beware.

I find their positions report to be unbelievably bad--Yahoo! Finance gives me a more comprehensive quick view of my holdings. So does eTrade. I'll stick with them because they don't charge me an arm and a leg for everything under the sun, but I'd switch if eTrade's fees were the same. I like Scottrade, but their interface is horrid.

While 7 dollar cost per trade is not excessive, I would like to see a reduction to at least 5 dollars for active traders. Easy to understand screen, fast action on orders and great help desk.

I like the fact that I can go to one of their offices down the street too. I have used their office for help and for money transfers. The streaming quotes are good as well... which are included Scottrade is solid for $7 a trade…. I like the fact that I can go to one of their offices down the street too.
