JEast Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 A few days ago, someone asked about routing orders to Canada from the US. Below is one example for TD Ameritrade (US Specific): [*]You enter an order using the OTC equivalent ticker symbol, [*]Make sure you enter the dollar amount correctly for currency translation, [*]Call the broker 800 number and ask them to route it to Canada, London, or wherever. Side note: TD Ameritrade takes both a $0.005 p/share take, plus the higher brokerage commission -- still not too expensive. Also and though frowned upon, I would use an 'all or none' designation as several small partial fills runs up commissions quickly.

ItsAValueTrap Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 You can use an "all or none" order? I believe they're banned in Canada (presumably due to market makers abusing them and clients getting poor executions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopheles Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 What is the purpose of routing to Canada instead of just buying it OTC in the U.S.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
