someone below asked about brokerage co's for a trading platform I myself have been with TDAM since 2000 their data feeds are super - price IMO is fair if you tell them u are/will be an active trader price comes down from 9.99 to $7 -savings sure add up over time. Have some friends who we trying to be real frugal but end up paying a penny a share and unless you're buying stock over $100 share it'll cost ya way more playing what we have here aka pink stock
