Hi,
I'm a future investor. I started to search the broker for my needs. Then, I found a broker called Qtrade. It responds to my
needs and it seemed to have no bad records. I would like to know yours views about this broker.

Thanks,
(Sorry if I didn't write well. the english isn't my first language)

Qtrade has been given a top rating by The Globe and Mail and many others. I have an account there, and have no complaints. You can't go wrong with them.

Used Qtrade for years and really liked them with no material complaints. One thing is that in additional to the trading fees of "x" dollars is that they have a per share traded commission as well. You may want to check this out. I deal mainly at a credit union and there brokerage arm was Qtrade. Recently changed credit unions and moved my account to their brokerage affiliate, Credential. Both are good but I think Qtrade may be a touch better albeit Credential does not have the per share cost added to the trades.

Just noticed that Qtrade has a special offer for investors under 30.

Qtrade has eliminated ECN fees. I got this from them today:

No more ECN fees

In our recent survey, we heard that clients don’t like ECN fees because they add a variable cost to some types of trades. So effective October 14, we’re removing ECN fees. Now, when you buy a Canadian stock or ETF you will pay only the competitive $8.75/$6.95 trading commission without any additional ECN fee.

Also, all ETFs are commission free until the end of October.

Interesting, as that is the reason I left them about a year ago and let them know why. Their service was excellent and I liked their platform.
