Tools

This page contains a list of tools and resources we recommend and use on a regular basis. Most of them are free or at least are very cost effective as we always like to minimize fees as much as possible.  

At first, the various tools and resources will simply be listed here. With time, explanations will be added for each one and quick post may even be published for some.

We also invite you to visit our Dip Factor page. We developed this tool to help decide when to pull the trigger on our favourite Watch List candidates.

It also helps us monitor existing positions in our DIY Portfolio.

  2. Not really. Personal experience with both of them very good...

    Questrade is a little cheaper with a basic cost of 4.95$/trade.

    This is especially true since iTrade was acquired by Scotia and they revised their prices a bit. With iTrade, 50K$ is now necessary to get a more competitive basic price of 9.99$/trade. 9.99$ or 4.95$ pretty much the same for investors like me who are not frequent traders.

    Maybe the institution behind iTrade (Scotia) is a little more solid than Questrade but I have no fear investing my money thru Questrade either.

    Thanks for the question and hope my answer helped!
