Good stock Brokers
Hi QBurg,
In the USA, there are several good broker-dealer firms for stock trading. Each has different minimum trade fees, minimum Account balance, etc.
A. ThinkOrSwim - not the cheapest but one of the best trading, scanning, and research platforms available.
B. TradeStation - pretty good Commission rates. One of best backtest trading platforms.
C. Interactive Brokers - one of the least expensive, very fast executions. Charting and research and backtesting features lacking.
Probably many others - also will depend on your frequency of trades per day or wk; whether you trade Level 2; whether you plan on using Options for insurance or income generation.
Good trading to you.
