Anyone is using Ameritrade Canada? Share your feeling and experience

[spirits]

What do you feel to buy/sell US stocks through the internet broker Ameritrade Canada?

At least its commission fee ($10.99) is much lower than TD waterhouse ($29) and BMO. Any other advantage do you know? And is there some disadvantage by comparing it with TD waterhouse, such as transferring money (cash) in or out between bank account and Ameritrade account?

Please share your experience, thanks! If it is good, I consider to open a account in it, to save money.

I have both Ameritrade canada and TD waterhouse, I think the Ameritrade canada is better.

The advantages of Ameritrade canada are:
1. streamer (see chart)
2. real time chart (if you are a day trader)
3. get nice pictures

The disadvantage of Ameritrade canada is:
can not trade canada stock.
