[Rick in Qatar:]

A better graph would be the number of on-line transactions each has per month. That would be a far more telling measure.

I'm surprised E*Trade is where it is in customer base as it's site is by far the best of this list, IMHO, for anyone "actively" trading. Not trying to pump E*Trade as it has a ton of mortgage baggage but for ease of use and response time, it beats virtually all of those above it hands down.

I do wish to exclude ShareBuilder from my commentary as I don't have an account with them. They may be awesome???

I do have very "active" accounts with the rest of those above E*Trade and have had accounts with some of those below. I'm in the process of closing my Scottrade account.

Do note I have been categorized as a "pattern day trader" from time to time.
