I’m with TD Waterhouse in Canada. I think that to be active you need to do a good amount of volume, but if you are paying $5 that’s 6 trades for every one of mine. Not bad!

Where do you trade through? I pay $5 flat fee commissions, and even that you can easily sign up at a handful of brokers and pay less than $10 per trade.

You often mention not buying an entire position at once. I guess in a way it’s a micro version of dollar cost averaging. How do you get around the fee factor? I look at each trade order i make costs me $29. So if i want to buy 1000 shares and do it in say 2 lots of 500, i now pay 29*2 for the same thing.
Maybe it only works when you’re doing so many trades that you qualify for reduced pricing.
