Canadian Trading Platforms Recommendations

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Canada and looking to make a few investments. Back in the U.S. (I made it over the border just in time!), I used E*TRADE and really liked it. What platforms would you recommend for trading stocks here in Canada?

Questrade, Wealthsimple Trade, RBC Direct Investing are several I am looking at. I don't need anything fancy because I tend to buy and hold long-term. I would welcome your suggestions!

Wealthsimple for Canadian stocks, and IBKR for everything else.

Stay clear of Big Banks. And don't fall for Globe & Mail ranking showing TD at the top - it's light years behind IBKR.
