Online brokers have an important role to play when you open an online
trading account. Each broker can offer different services and features.
You must research all the online brokers to find the best broker to
meet your needs. I have listed a large number of online brokers and
placed their information for you to read in one easy-to-read webpage.
This is a free, “no-cost to you” service for our valued readers and can

What to look for in an online broker.
Brokerage rates
– this is the rate at which you are charged for buying or selling
through your online account. These rates are usually charged based on a
sliding scale. The more units you purchase in a single transaction, the
less the “cost per unit” you will pay. The exact sliding scale can vary
and may sometimes be negotiable for larger purchases. Compare each
broker and read the fine print within contracts. Pick the one that best
meets your buying and selling style.
Account fees
– Look for hidden fees in account contracts within the terms and
conditions. I know of one broker who requires an extra $10 to transfer
money out of an account “quickly” as against withdrawing money
normally. Hardly a fair fee, I’d say. All fees should be listed in the
terms and conditions listed in opening an account.
Phone access
– Online services can go down during hours of service. Interruptions to
broadband services, power outages and computer problems can stop you
from accessing information you need at critical points. This is why you
must have phone access to your online broker. Do not even consider
using an online broker if they do not provide phone access.
Access to your money
– I prefer having instant access to my money even though it is held in
a cash account by the broker. Most brokers will have a cash account
facility that is linked to your trading account. My account is linked
to a MasterCard account, which means I can access that money anytime
through any ATM or make purchases as I would normally using a
MasterCard. Don’t be misled into thinking you must only have a separate
cash holding account with the online broker. There are lots of options
open to you as a client and good online brokers will provide several
options for your cash holding account.
Extra benefits – seek out
those brokers that give you extra incentives to open an account with
them. Some offer a limited free brokerage period. Others will offer
free reports on the markets you are interested in. These bonus offers
can help you getting you account established and setup a profitable
trading account. For more information on finding the best online stock broker feel free to visit our website.
