john henry asked:


If I’m working full time and can’t be watching the computer all day, can I still do these trades safely? What happens if there is a rapid adverse change in stock price? Can I set a point for the brokerage to unravel the whole trade?

Jeffrey S asked:


I am a beginner investor and I would like some feedback from anyone having experience with Zecco.com trades. Were trades executed quickly, at or better than published bid-ask price spread? Are limit orders included in the 10 free trades per month? Have you found another online broker that you like better, and why? Thanks for the input.
