I have been with Choice Trade (CT) for… I have been with Choice Trade (CT) for about 3 yrs. Their service had been consistently good and valuable. Their front line staff are prompt to attend to email queries and their support team resolves any platform issues promptly. CT's trading fee is reasonable although the was a minor upward adjustment with the change in the company ownership. CT's handling of withdraw is super efficient. The trade execution is efficient too. My overall experience had been satisfying

UPGRADE OF MY RATING First, I have to say that there should not have been a single star here. The reason I chose to leave this star is for the future. Anything can be turned around for the better. At the time I was considering whether or not to open trading account with ChoiceTrade, I read negative reviews about ChoiceTrade particularly about old and non-functioning trading facilities, lack of basic educational tools plus other fundamental issues bothering on ChoiceTrade's use of low cost payment system to settle clients while insisting on hire transfer from clients. I sent mail to ChoiceTrade and I raised issues over $25 dollar fee for setting up account for non-residents and hefty wire fees. It suffices for me to state that my encounter with ChoiceTrade team more than anything else demonstrated to me that the company has a very long way to go for it to realize its full potentials. Attitude is everything! There is only one boss, Sam Walton once said. A rule of hegemony smacks of arrogance and ignorance. I will say no more. UPDATED REVIEW I consider it necessary to state that after my initial review that CHOICETRADE's TEAM reached out to me in most respectful and understanding manner. The TEAM addressed, to my satisfaction, the issue of account opening fee for non-resident and promised that CHOICETRADE would kept working to find an easier and better alternative to wire transfer. The Team, at my request, opened a Dummy Account for me. I found the platform very easy to navigate and I really appreciate all the efforts they have been making to ensure that I enjoy my trading experience with them. The bottom line is that I now feel very comfortable with CHOICETRADE and CHOICETRADE's TEAM and will most likely open a trading account with CHOICETRADE without further delay. I know we can always reason together and work things out. CHOICETRADE's TEAM cares. For the foregoing reasons, I do not hesitate to give four stars to CHOICETRADE.

Consistent Surcharge of $55 at this… Consistent Surcharge of $55 at this time when portfolios are at their low ebb? I cant imagine how debit of $55 would crystalize within two days of notifying a client of a less than $12 maintenance fee. Thats a low for me.

Easily by far the worst brokerage I… Easily by far the worst brokerage I have ever used. Hidden fees can easily amount to $35-$50/mo. Customer Non-Service is extraordinarily poor, so much so that I renamed them PoorChoice Trade in my 5+ years with them. Regardless of how much you trade or don't trade per month/quarter you will still be charged a minimum, i.e. either collected as trading fees or as a charge per month as well as another possible hidden charge per quarter. (And monthly statements are nearly impossible to attain online). I've used nearly a dozen brokers throughout these last 20 years - usually 3 at a time for availability and/or as a backup if one or the other hadn't been available. (My favorites tend to be InteractiveBrokers & ETrade [I do miss OptionsHouse]).

18 years with Choice Trade and still trading... i've been with Choice Trade for 18+ years, and since day 1 i've always thought i was the only customer they have. Their customer service is outstanding ! I'm able to talk to both principals 7 days a week on there personal cell phones if needed. Their low commissions, fast executions via the DAS Trade platform is second to none. I cannot say enough good things about Choice Trade, and that is why my 18 years of being a customer will continue for a long time.
