I have LowTrades but I’m moving out. For some reason I never transferred that account to Zecco. I use them to trade penny stocks which is great because there are no extra charges unlike TradeKing (.01 per share) but they charged me $50 for not trading between Jan 1 to Jun 30 last year (6 month inactivity fee) and that’s because they did not execute my BQI limit order on June 24 which they eventually executed on July 1. Those bastards screwed me to get their $50 from my account which has dwindled to almost nothing because I suck at trading penny stocks…lol, not to mention the crappy market.

Scottrade will reimburse you the ACAT from another broker if you transfer $25,000 to them for each account.

BofA’s catch is that you have to have $25k in deposit accounts with them. The drawback is that they impose a $50 semiannual “brokerage account maintenance fee” for accounts under $50k, so the deal is not attractive to investors with low account balances. If you have multiple accounts with them, the 30 free trades/month are used for all accounts. If you only traded a few times, all the remaining free trades for that month will be gone, they don’t carry over.

Wells Fargo, as long as you link all your accounts with the PMA checking, you can have 100 free trades for each account you hold. The PMA checking can have $0 unlike BoA where you have to have $25,000 in their checking. Wells gives you 100 free trades in combined assets. So if you have $5000 each in a Roth, a regular IRA, a Joint account, Individual account, and roll-over IRA (combined total of $25,000), you will have 100 free trades for each of those account for a total of 500 free trades.
