Since I trade in small amounts of shares... usually between 30-500 I don't mind being at the bottom of the order stack...now if I traded in the thousands of shares then maybe this would be a huge huge problem for me but in actuality it's not...so I'll continue to stick with the free trading platform....out of the 4 trading accounts I use the one with the highest commissions I haven't made a single trade on...the broker in the middle range cost I have traded a couple of dozen times but the free trading account I have made approximately 185 trades since February!!! Compared to my highest priced account I have saved $1,275+ worth of commissions so far in 2018!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you missed any trades? I know you love this model and are saving a lot of money...Be honest do you believe you have missed one trade? Do you buy and sell the same stock to generate some gains or do you buy and hold? ES
