Yes... I've been using Robinhood since it very first started. However, they have a long "hold" period to get money into their system as well (3-5 days).

So, I do an instant transfer and buy with Scottrade, and then I use Robinhood to "move" the shares into their system. :)

They also have some new "margin" packages... so for $100/month in fees, they provided me $24,000 worth of trading margin. I'm not sure what that amount is based on, but I am giving it a try with the CRM stock.

Have you tried Robinhood?  It's a phone app (iPhone exists) with free trades.  Works exactly like Scottrade as far as I can tell, unless you get into amounts of $100k or something.

    Keep in mind, it takes 3-5 business days to get money into an
    account to buy any "substantial" amount. I started the transfer
    two days ago and I'm still waiting... watching it go up and up
    and up. :(

    Never mind, it hit 7k today. Would've made $1000 in 2 days if
    I'd bought it two days ago. Still not gonna do it now!

    $6000.. no way I'm buying it now. Pretty sure I'll be saying
    this again at $7000.
