TDAmeritrade Review Summary
Thanks to the invention of the internet, stock trades are just a mouse click away and one of the first companies to offer online trading was TD Ameritrade, an online brokerage service that allows self- directed trades via the web site or customer- assisted trades by phone. Fees charged by TD Ameritrade are low, and this makes it easy for TD Ameritrade customers to increase their portfolios without giving up excessive amounts of cash in the form of commissions and other fees. TD Ameritrade offers “Great Online Support” but at least one reviewer has warned TD Ameritrade customers to “Use This Broker at Your Own Risk”, due to the fact that the site has been known to become inoperable at critical trading times. But TD Ameritrade is still one of the higher- rated Online Brokerage Services, and it makes a good choice for those who trade frequently.

For the second time in 18 months TD Ameritrade's computers failed during a major market crisis. Each time customers were unable to log in and access their accounts. This time TD Ameritrade would not even take phone calls leaving their customers totally helpless to manage their accounts. I'm sure...

TD Ameritrade does everything right but falls flat with poor trade execution for limit trades. If this flaw was fixed I would gladly recommend the service but as is, it is a fatal flaw in my view.

Able to trade in real time with low per trade fees.
you get a month of free trades when you sign up.
When I needed to withdraw money, funds were in my checking account in 3 days.
would recommend this brokerage for anyone
I was leery to use on-line service, unsure if it would work. The account manager said he would walk me through process. Before you confirm trade, it would repeatedly ask if this is what you want to do. There is a 7/24 phone-line for questions and answers.
I love TDAmeritrade as my broker. They have fantastic tools and prices are easy to understand and to use. The only criticism I have is that they do not have a very useful mobile platform, other than that I would recommend it to all investors and traders.
We have had accounts with this company since 1995. It has gone through many changes, but we have generally been highly satisfied with the service. Pricing is most favorable, too, except there are a few nuisance service charges, such as the $25 "reorganization" fee when a company is bought out and the stock is liquidated for cash. In theory, this should generate another brokerage commission, but TDAmeritrade apparently doesn't agree.
I have had a number of service problems over the years, but they have all been resolved thanks to access to a live person, rather than being forced into e-mail...
