TD Ameritrade User Reviews

) on 2009-11-22 16:50:52No complaints. Transactions are executed timely and accurately. Fees per trade could be lowered to compete with other online trade sites.
by jangie ( 35 ) on 2009-10-13 18:33:14No complaints. Have the ability to deal with all the types of transactions I want to deal with (including options, which I haven't gotten into yet), and ECH transfers in and out go quickly and consistently. At tax time, I have all the information I need readily available at my fingertips.
