Scottrade vs Fidelity vs TD Ameritrade

And the winner of the Fastest Trade Execution Speed is… Scottrade!!

Seriously, Scottrade’s Trade Quality and Execution is absolutely amazing. Before the market opened today, I submitted three orders for the same stock and price at three different brokerage firms. I placed a limit order for TNL at $21.50 at Fidelity, Scottrade, and TD Ameritrade. And only Scottrade fulfilled my order. Interestingly, the low of the intra-day trading is at $21.50. This was a really good test to see which brokerage gets the orders executed the fastest and at the lowest price. I had higher expectations for Fidelity and was a little disappointed when my orders in my Fidelity account did not execute.

Scottrade is really impressive. They have put my orders through several times in the past at the intra-day bottom. I was thinking of moving my Scottrade’s money to Fidelity, but now I’m going to put that thought on hold.

Keep up the good work, Scottrade!
