I really like the online broker site, because it offers a lot of good tools used for trading and investing. It also has a very neat and organized format, and is very easy to use. I especially like the page for balances and positions, because it clearly outlines all positions and changes in valuations.
Only two considerations for the brokerage, but not really important: commission and bugs. At $9.95 per trade (+$0.75 per contract on options), it is a bit on the steep side. However, I feel like it is worth it, just for the peace of mind that nothing will go wrong with this brokerage.
The second problem is a bug where the ticker you are viewing changes to a previously viewed ticker. For example, if you were looking at MS and then changed to C, as you're clicking though the tabs, it may randomly go back to MS. Of course, this isn't a major problem.
All in all, I really like TD Ameritrade.
