Yo, so I heard that Scottrade ain't around no more. That's a bummer, man. I don't think anyone else can give any more reviews on their site. It's a shame 'cause I remember using it back in the day and it was pretty solid. But I guess things change, ya know? Anyway, just wanted to give y'all a heads up in case you were thinking of checking it out. Peace.

Scottrade is the cheapest/best online broker I'm aware of. I had Etrade and Schwab before, but Scottrade on average was less expensive. It's not glamorous but their online interface works well if you're reasonably tech savvy and a self-directed investor. Check it out.

Scottrade effectively stole thousands of dollars from me as a result of fraudulent activity that may or may not have been an inside job. Scottrade kicked me around and harassed me for 4 months before finally denying my fraud claims.

You can learn more at http://scottradeworstbroker.com it will be updated as the story continues. You can also read about the other horrible reports at http://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/scottrade.html

Think twice before you use Scottrade, they have no fraudulent activity insurance despite the mis represented fraudulent activity and security guarantee.

They stole thousands of dollars of medical money from my Scottrade bank account as well.

If you have a complaint you may contact them at http://contactscottrade.com/

Can't complain they made trading stocks and options easy. I feel like the cost of the trades are fair and my account is secure. I have visited my local branch and the people there were friendly and helpful.

One of the best trading sites I have ever used! If you have not opened an account yet i highly suggest that you do. Trades are only $7 bucks and to open a new account all they ask is $500 They have some of the best tools for researching and staying up to date with stocks, and their local branches are available and willing to help with any questions you might have. If your ready to open an account Promo code FDCH0022 will get you set up with some free trades after setting up a new account. Good luck out there!

I use Scottrade as my personal brokerage account. It's cheap and relatively easy to use but if you need help you're better off using a traditional brokerage or wealth manager.

Sadly, the website is no longer available. I don't think this website shall receive any further reviews from others.

Ok Trades

I did business with them a little bit. They really don't compare to td ameritrade. They do a good job but just not as good.
