Information to Help You Choose the Right Online Broker
 
 
Category Description

These brokers fit the needs of ‘Active’ or ‘Day-Traders’ who require fast, easy to use tools, and reasonable commissions. Our number one choices at this time for Active Traders are E*TRADE (with their Power E*TRADE Pro platform), and TDAmeritrade (with their thinkorswim platform). These platforms allow traders to scan the market, identify potential trades, and execute the buy and sell with speed and precision.

Best Active Traders

E*TRADE

E*TRADE® is one of the most popular and well known online discount stock brokerages. Many of you are probably familiar with their advertising campaign which features the “E*TRADE Talking Babies” to help promote their services. E*TRADE is a publicly traded company under the symbol ETFC, and has a market capital of around $3 billion.







optionsXpress

optionsXpress® is an award winning online brokerage that has some quite unique features. This is one of the few brokers that offers futures trading, helping investors diversify into yet another market type.







Scottrade

Scottrade® is a well established discount brokerage with a history going back 30 years now. This fact may not be obvious because of the relatively recent advertising you may have noticed for Scottrade. In fact, the company was started in 1980 and started offering online trading in 1996.







TD Ameritrade

TD Ameritrade® is one of the brokerages you will often see on TV commercials. Their large size and advertising budget enable them to do this. The problem with this type of broker is that additional budget results in higher commissions.
