not when they are charging $20 per USD trade... madness

maybe they've reduced it by 99% but I doubt it

The limit is per transaction. If you want to buy more than the limit allows, you'll have to so via multiple transactions.

And just look at the “spread” when you buy
 
I see only some shares allow you to specify 'place order' and specify a specific price.
Anyone know by which criteria this functionality is enabled/disabled?
 
I have to ask because I'm hoping I'm just using it wrong.

I can't wrap my mind around navigating the UI I am used to without having to click through the abortion that is the new UI first and in between.

Let's say I want to do a few transactions on stocks I own. I go to my ZAR portfolio (old UI), find the stock, click buy or sell, transaction done.

But now I want to do another transaction on one of my other ones. I click on the old ZAR tab and then the whole page reloads, and blesses me with that new UI. Then I have to wade my way back to where I was, a click or 4 later, to do my business.

Am I alone here? Am I doing it wrong?

Usually I can bypass the new UI by clicking back twice after buying or selling. But I forget. I want to cringe when that new UI loads. It's nothing but a road block.

Yep, they ****ed up their whole trading flow. I do the exact same thing. Maybe its muscle memory, IDK, but as soon as I get the "congrats" screen after doing a transaction, I click the ZAR/TFSA button to go back to my account, but end up at their dashboard.

The dashboard isn't bad (it also isn't great) but why the hell does it send you back there.

They literally made transacting more difficult on their platform.

Didnt you closed your EE account and jump ship?
 
Can't say the Clarity interface is much better, I still stumble around... and its also still a bit buggy. But - the service makes up for it.
