Bank of America Review

Incredibly bad fills on stock trades at Bank of America Investment Services.  I estimate that my best trades are sandbagged $0.06 to 0.$075 per share, either a missed trade or not the best price for large volumes beyond my order.  "Free trades" ? Mine have cost tens of thousands of dollars in missed trades and thousands in poor fill prices.  I prefer Interactive Brokers and Thinkorswim among the dozen+ brokers that I have tried.  e.g. Two standing GTC orders, IB filled my order for stock at $0.71 at 933 am while BoA filled it at $0.77+ between 935 and 948 am. 

 Also the trading hours are inferior, missing early morning and a crucial 4 pm to 410 pm aftermarket slot. The clunky trade interface is laborious and lacks some *same day* account information like liquidation balance.  Their IRA is a cash only account rather than (limited) margin IRA. The BAIS IRA effectively allows only 1 round trip per 3 days+, a very dangerous limitation in markets like now.   Adios MFs.
