Did you sign up when they were giving away one share of stock to newcomers? The promo may still be ongoing, but I don't see how they can offer so many incentives and keep the lights on. The stock promo was what drew me in.

No I signed up b/c there were no transaction costs. However it overall not a great platform in my opinion.

I don't know if I would trust software to make my stock trades totally. Be sure the get their success rate and I would watch it like a hawk! I guess I'm just not a very big believer in machines in that roll yet.
