I only use Questrade. I pay 4.95 per trade, regardless of size, so that works for my position sizes. PM and AH is a bit more.
I have an account w IB, but don't use them, as the commission structure is still more expensive for me, and I already pay exchange fees etc on Questrade. But if you trade smaller sizes, IB is the way to go. But. IB UI is not as intuitive as Questrade.
ToS is a great platform, but you need to fund with 25k US (PDT rule seems to be applied up here, which is stupid) to get live data, and you pay 7.99 per trade (I think, or more). I have an account, but only use it to chart for my swings (as they have a handful of propriety studies I use) and free Benzinga squawk
Wealthsimple I would stay away from. I'd go with Questrade or IB. Why? They say cheap or free comissions, but they hose you on EVERY trade for exchange. So you will be paying conversion fee every time you take a trade. Also, I've heard horror stories if you day trade, and they will lock your account, as they frown upon it for some reason.
I wish Canada would have good options like the States, as well as commission free trading. I see my commissions every month and I nearly barf how much I give the stupid broker.
As for charting, as I think someone mentioned I had a screen grab above, I subscribe to TradingView Pro. I hate the charting of Questrade, and ToS doesn't have live data as I needed something better to chart as I day trade and scalp. I love the look, intuitiveness and annotative abilities of it. The annotative abilities are especially helpful for my journaling.
Anyways, if you got questions, fire me a DM. I'm not on CP very often anymore, but I'll check from time to time.
