TDAmeritrade Reviews

For the second time in 18 months TD Ameritrade's computers failed during a major market crisis. Each time customers were unable to log in and access their accounts. This time TD Ameritrade would not even take phone calls leaving their customers totally helpless to manage their accounts. I'm sure many investors lost thousands of dollars by not being able to sell falling issues or missed many great opportunities to buy oversold issues at bargain prices. In either case, it was a helpless feeling, akin to being a victim of crime. I plan to immediately seek out another online broker and transfer...

TD Ameritrade does everything right but falls flat with poor trade execution for limit trades.  If this flaw was fixed I would gladly recommend the service but as is, it is a fatal flaw in my view.

I investigated many companies before I chose a place to save and invest, and I am glad I chose TD Ameritrade. I feel safe and secure, and although in this economy growth has slowed, it hasn't come to a halt, and I have not lost any money. I show growth every month--sometimes more than expected.

The website is a bit difficult to navigate, but with practice you can figure it out, and there is always support if you need it.

Love to use TDAmeritrade!  I would rate it a 5 it was cheaper and if they made a tiny web-site revision that would allow you to hit refresh on your current page (it goes back to the original log-in page at that point no matter what material you were viewing).

I started using Sharebuilder and hated it.  Switched to TDAmeritrade and it was like day and night.

I love TDAmeritrade as my broker. They have fantastic tools and prices are easy to understand and to use. The only criticism I have is that they do not have a very useful mobile platform, other than that I would recommend it to all investors and traders.

I started trading with TDAmeritrade and it gives various research ideas and details on all stocks. Very useful but the broker commission is more than other brokerage firms.

We have had accounts with this company since 1995.  It has gone through many changes, but we have generally been highly satisfied with the service.  Pricing is most favorable, too, except there are a few nuisance service charges, such as the $25 "reorganization" fee when a company is bought out and the stock is liquidated for cash.  In theory, this should generate another brokerage commission, but TDAmeritrade apparently doesn't agree.

I have had a number of service problems over the years, but they have all been resolved thanks to access to a live person, rather than being forced into e-mail...

I have been am Ameritrade now TDAmeritrade customer for about 10 years.  I am very happy with the user friendly website, the ongoing education provided and the outstanding customer service.

I find the website very efficient.  THere are numerous opportunities to research and learn about investing.

The customer service is outstanding!  You can talk to a real person usually within minutes.  They are always courteous and knowledgable.

Deposits and withdrawls are always handled in a very timely manner.
