@Kim and my other fellow Canadian traders I am curious if any one has picked up on Questrade's $0 commissions?  It looks legitimate even the fine print.  Monthly subscriptions of 9.95 and 11.95 look like they will cover CAD and US stocks and US options.  Set up 2 margin accounts but have not funded them yet as I have been checking on the power of its API to feed data to some apps I have been developing.  IB restricts this to one account per user (or at least that is the case based on my research) whereas Questrade will work for at least 2 which meets my needs.  If any one else has set up an account with Questrade I would be interested on their thoughts to open and start trading with them.  

Thanks

No, I wasn't aware of their new structure.
