Then Scotia jacked up commissions to 9.99+, then again to $19.99 and today I went to make a trade and it was $39.00. On top of that service, which used to be good under eTrade, sucks more than ever.

I received an email from one of their CSR's and she starts out the email with "Hi Ryan, it was very nice speaking with you earlier..." I dont know who the fuck she was "speaking to" but it certainly wasn't me! This tells me everything I need to know about this outfit... Ill steer clear.

Not a summary at all, they make you do the math on every stock traded, and then you have to figure out the years total, WHAT A FRUSTRATION!! Fine if you traded a half dozen times in a year but I've got 612 trades to go through now. Last years summary was what I'm used too its similar to TD Canadatrust where everything is calculated for you, You just scan down through the pages to see the amount you made or lost per stock traded, on the finale page of the summary they showed your total net loss or gain. I had a great year and even requested to pay them if the they would kindly run my trades through last years summary program, I begged as politely and kindly as I could but I was spoken too like I was a piece of garbage the most offensive remarks, I ever from a discount broker so I'm leaving with my half mill and its back to TD... I did find out however that last years summary was Etrade program. Not impressed!! I cant believe their year end finale trade summary.

All of my cash disappeared along with my securities. It took several days and calls to get them to sort it out, they replied we have nothing in place to prevent this from happening. How about a phone call to let us know first, I mean doing this in the middle of the trading day is completely disrespectful. Stuck in all your positions unable to trade mean while the market is tanking. A 30 min wait to get through on the phone assured the problem will be fixed in 5 mins each time. Give me a break this company needs to get it together, seriously do not even bother with them. what kinda a joke is this Itrade company, I too experienced a lock out from my regular cash accounts after I opened short and margin accounts.

I opened a TFSA account on DEC 24th and STILL NOT ACTIVE yet after a month. Called them 20 times and they kept on saying it will be opened up soon. Finally after calling them over and over they tell me my picture on the photo copy wasn't clear.......what a fuck in assholes. I asked them to double check because copy could not have been bad as I coped it on be best possible dpi. Surly enough month later someone checked the copy while I was on the phone and told me picture was perfect, he sent in request again and they opened the account after 32 days. What a fuck in joke no one called me to say anything about the picture yet they won’t open the account because some mother fucker didn’t do their job right. I really hope this FUCK in service fails.
