I have been trading with the TD Ameritrade servers for more than 4 years. When I do trades it happened to me five times that the screen with threes after I just placed an order then I could not sell the shares for 15 minutes because it would freeze and I couldn't do anything and I will lose thousands and thousands of dollars. On top of that when I do trades in a market order I can lose sometimes as much as $0.60 and that could Mount to $300 and when I tell him to correct the problem they tell me I should have placed a limit order.

Working with the Company means investing endless hours to communicate, get a human being on the phone, execute requests, getting reliable execution of what was discussed by phone, zero customer service, stock sales request at the branch, in writing with signature, was delayed for weeks. Closing the account is likewise the most cumbersome process. Any gain one may achieve, dependent on the market development, is wasted due to lack of execution. Customer service = non-existing.

Blocks purchases and sales. Customer service picks up after about 70 minutes. Lots of hidden fees. Rude employees. Slow servers. I also have their credit card. Same issues. I will close my brokerage account. The card I'll keep. Just not use it. Stay away from them.

I asked customer service to sell my stock when it got down to $83.00. The stock was at $85.00, and I was worried that it was going to go way down, while I was on a plane. The stock had been going down. So, customer service actually sold it for $83.00, when the market value was $85.00. The stock never got down to $83.00. He just sold it to be malicious. He knew exactly what I meant. He's an arrogant man that wants to put women that don't know stock market verbiage in the their place. I'm going to another company. Good customer service would explain that they are going to sell your stock way below market value. Also, that is not what I asked for. I said, "sell if it gets down to $83.00."
