IKBR seems to be better for buying stocks, and I'm looking into splitting my activity between the two platforms, just need to do a bit more research.
FWIW a friend showed me TD's platform and it has access to loads more information/news/research/reports than Questrade does.

I only do very basic trades in mostly North American stocks/ETF's and also like TD's platform for my level of research and reports. However each trade costs me almost $10.
I am seriously thinking of trying WealthSimple Trade for absolutely commission free trading. If I only trade in basic stocks and ETF's what's the downside?
