Can't really beat that..
It's also an epic waste of money leaving $25k in an account generating essentially 0% interest just to get 30 free trades (~$300 value, giving you a grand 1.2% yearly interest on your deposit).

You're better off finding a higher interest-yielding account or money market fund and making your trades via a 3rd party like ameritrade.
