In 1982, William A. Porter and Bernard A. Newcomb founded TradePlus in Palo Alto, California, with $15,000 in capital. In 1991, Porter and Newcomb founded E-Trade Securities, Inc., with several hundred thousand dollars of startup capital from TradePlus. E-Trade offered its trading services via America Online and Compuserve. In 1994, its revenues neared $11 million, up from $850,000 in 1992.

By June 30, 1996, the company had 73,000 accounts and processed 8,000 daily trades, with quarterly revenue of $15 million.

On August 16, 1996, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.

In 2000, the company acquired Telebanc.

In May 2001, the company acquired Web Street Securities for $45 million in stock.

In January 2004, Toronto-Dominion Bank held talks to merge its TD Waterhouse discount brokerage with E-Trade, but the two sides still needed to agree on control of the merged entity. TD Waterhouse instead merged with Ameritrade to form TD Ameritrade. After the merger, E-Trade continued talks to merge with TD Ameritrade, but the two sides could not agree on price and governance rights.

This resulted in a net $2.2 billion reduction in assets on the company's balance sheet. Citadel received a seat on the board of directors of the company and Mitch Caplan resigned as CEO.

In November 2007, the company revoked the brand name license from SBI E-Trade Securities in Japan.

In March 2008, E-Trade named Donald Layton, formerly JPMorgan Chase vice chairman, its new CEO. Layton had joined E-Trade's board of directors in November 2007, at the same time as the Citadel LLC deal.

E-Trade has over five million clients with total assets of US$360 billion. Morgan Stanley hopes this will attract new clients who will eventually be able to take Morgan Stanley's services any further; it will gain better access to electronic trading platforms.
