I use TradeKing and it is $4.95/trade every time, no hidden fees. Customer service has been terrific and they'll comp your transfer fees if you come in from another brokerage account.
I have it linked to my savings account and all of my other deposits after the 1st have been immediately available to trade within 30 seconds. On quite a few occasions they have filled my order at prices better than my limit; they have real-time bid and ask prices in the order window so you can watch it if you want to try to snipe your price. I wanted my fees as low as possible so that it didn't eat into my profits, so I couldn't justify going with the others b/c they weren't offering anything else that I needed and couldn't get with TradeKing.
They also have a referral program, so if any of you are interested in switching into TradeKing (do the research, you won't have any reason not to), please PM me with your name and email address.
