Attracted by price and by SmartMoney awards. Had account for 9 months. Finally switched all positions over from TD and happy about everything so far.

Switched to TradeKing from ETrade about 6 months ago. First impression was that the ACH process took a bit longer than I would have liked but once it was done, everything has been great since. I'm saving money on trades and I have learned to trade options by attending their free webinars and interacting in their online community. They launched a new back-testing screener which is awesome. I really like their community. It's unlike anything I've seen on other sites.
Two thumbs up on TradeKing.

My favorite part about tradeking are the tools and extra features; the options screener is quite good. Tradeking's logins are very secure (requiring more than just a userid and password), and I don't have to worry about ever getting my account hacked into, but there are some problems. tradeking logs me off automatically if I idle for a few hours and I have to login again through their multi-step login. the extra security is both good and bad.
trade executions are good and you get so many extra tools and features. highly recommended
