Same plan for me, except I use passpack.com ...

However, beware of tradeking as an online trading service. They have the lowest rates, but they have some ridiculous backward security requirements.

1) You have to enter passwords with an on-screen keyboard. Which means long complex computer generated passwords are a pain.

2) They present security questions in multiple choice form. That's right, your clever or unique answers are right there easily identified next to all the mundane answers.

Honestly I don't know how they haven't fired their whole security team. I know this kind of security theatre is costing them business, and I bet their back end reflects similarly poor decisions. I am surprised they don't have regular compromise reports.

I literally closed my account because of their ridiculous security requirements.

For the record, I'm much happier with Interactive Brokers: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/

Thanks for the heads up. When I looked years ago I had trouble finding a suitably priced company with an available API. This looks like a serious contender.
