Canada here should I go with eTrade.ca or Zecco.com?

I been 50 50 between the 2...

eTrade doesn't require a minimum to do day trades..
19.99$ if you do more then 30 trades in 1/4 then they lower the fee to 9.99$

They seam very very professional I like them.

But now I am looking at Zecco.com

They offer 10 free day trades (40 total per month) after that they charge $3 something. ($2.000 minimum)

So I need some opinions currently I am with TD waterhouse and they are a rip of 29$ minimum per trade! now if you do pennies that is a expensive ride.

So I would like some opinions on the top 2 that I have listed. Zecco and eTrade what is suggested need feedback from people that use them.

Cheers and thank

I'm with TD myself at the moment, but I pay $9.99 flat...I do more than 30 trades per quarter though. E-trade is ok from what I hear...look at questrade, 9.99 flat for CND and US equities...

as far as zecco, can you even open an account if you are Canadian?

According to the FAQs at Zecco.com, you cannot open an account with them if you are a Canadian citizen residing in Canada.

Sorry to bring up a really old thread, but I'm just asking the same question.

I'm a Canadian Citizen, living in Canada with a US mailing address.

I do not have US Social Security #. Do have a US bank account.

Am I able to use my US mailing address to open a Zecco account?

no. you need to reside outside Canada.
