I thought etrade had given up commissions and instead just front runs the trades..

  That’s false; brokerages make enough money from retail customers with payment for order flow.

    Isnt that the definition of front running?
    • krallja 4y ago
      No, front running is where they go take the same position as you, but in FRONT of you.

  That was several years ago. Also I think even the advertised commissions on ETrade were relatively low then too, only the stock award plan account had the ridiculous ones, hence me transfering the stock out.
