So @Pablo
1) Were you placing your order after hours - or did the order include the option to "fill after hours". All brokers limit the number of shares that can execute after hours - too easy to manipulate the price when the market is closed. Its 5000 for Fidelity. Note that even if the market is open, if your limit order includes the "include after hours" in the order, it won't take it. Try it sometime and choose the "during market hours only" option? Its also possible they limit the shares on thinly traded stocks during market for the same reason?
2) This doesn't surprise me - I can see prefeed's on Fidelity I can not see on Schwab, and vice versa - and while I have never actually traded them all the research I have done on them tells me that these are traded like fixed income not an equity. I doubt Schwab would make you happy here. You might want to call and talk to one of the more full service oriented brokers like Merrill or Chase. You need to remember Fidelity and Schwab are online high volume brokers for us peasants, not wealth managers for folks like you
3) I do trade on Schwab an ETN - which has a fee of $0.10 (yep not kidding, 10 cents a trade). Every time I do it I get a pop up box that asks me to confirm I accept this transaction fee. I have to both click a radio button and confirm - so the point is to make sure the client knows for sure there is a transaction fee. Have you tried loading a trade on Fidelity for these ETF's. I presume it would clearly tell you there is a fee. Are you wanting to trade these - or just trying to ensure you don't accidentally pay $100?
