Brown charges $5 on market orders and $10 on limit orders. They also have
pretty good commission rates on options, although they are not the lowest.
Their margin rates are about as low as you will find though. Not sure how
to respond to your question on NASDAQ limit fills. Most of the stocks I
trade are listed stocks, or some of the larger cap NASDAQ. I often try to
cherry-pick with limit orders at (or even below) the bid. Sometimes I get
them, sometimes I don't. If I don't I'll just wait for another opportunity
to get my price. Although I don't have any data to back it up, it is my
impression that I am more likely to get filled on those types of orders at
Brown rather than American Express or TD Waterhouse where I have other
accounts.
With regards to their back office, it has just not been an issue with me. I
vaguely remember having to make a couple of calls in the past but don't
recall any significant problems. They have called me though, either to
notify me of option assignments or to tell me of errors that I made. I
think the comments you hear about a "supposedly arrogant and hostile
attitude to customers" may be related to their Boston location. As a
transplanted Southerner who had to live in the Northeast for 15 years, I can
verify there is a different culture up there. I guess maybe I got used to
it somewhat, but I don't recall anything to out of the ordinary in my
dealings with them.

Your post was most enlightening. What does Brown chage on limit orders and
how
are your fills on NASDAQ limit orders?
What has your back office experience been on getting Brown to correct its
own
errors. I have long been tempted to open an account at Brown, but have
always
held off because of the torrent of negative comments on the net about
Brown's
supposedly arrogant and hostile attitude towards customers.
So your input on these issues would greatly be appreciated.

I have used Brown for a couple of years now and they are my favorite of the
