Innovation

Since the Internet emerged as a platform for online trading, Scottrade has taken advantage of new technologies to advance the stock trading process for our customers. We are committed to growth and are continually working to ensure a seamless customer experience. The result is trading platforms and secure systems that give our customers the best trading experience.

Scottrade customers can now trade on a newly redesigned Web site that is easy to navigate with even more advanced stock trading features. Customers can manage their accounts, trade, find stock research and get quotes all within a site that has a new, updated look.

Customers can also trade on Scottrader, where they have access to live streaming quotes, news, top ten lists and interactive charts. Other valuable tools include personal stock lists and quick quotes to help customers track individual stocks and make timely trades when investing online.

ScottradeELITE is an advanced trading platform built exclusively for active traders. ScottradeELITE launches right from the trader's desktop and offers complimentary Dow Jones News, Comtex News, advanced charting capabilities, technical analysis and integrated Level II Quotes. And now, ScottradeELITE offers NASDAQ TotalView, which shows traders every bid and ask for every market participant, allowing them to more quickly make better trading decisions. (Level II and TotalView fees may apply.) ScottradeELITE is free to those who qualify. To download ScottradeELITE, customers have to maintain a minimum account value of $25,000.
