Anyone using TradeKing?

Re: Anyone using TradeKing?

Sounds interesting enough to warrant a gander.

My husband does some online trades and he says hes heard tradeking
has good rates but he uses Scotttrade which he's happy with.

I like Interactive Brokers for the $1 per trade (for 200 shares or less), but that is $5 for 1000 shares.

OptionsHouse only charges $2.95 per trade for unlimited shares.
Don't let the name fool you, they do stocks too.

Just found another world wide broker called SogoTrade charges $3 a trade for unlimited shares.

My favorite is still Interactive Brokers with their $1 trades. They have a great datafeed too.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

I've heard of the rest except Interactive Brokers. I thought the deal was too good to be permanent, but maybe not. They require a $10k minimum account balance, which I take it is the "catch".

Zecco has 10 free trades per month and Wells Fargo has 100 free trades per year, but both require a $25k minimum balance.

So, it sounds about right to me.

I'm currently still with Scottrade, but I am going to give these other guys some serious thought....

I stick with Optionsxpress.

I stick with Optionsxpress.

Do they have something Interactive Brokers (a world wide broker with $1 trades) doesn't have?

Mind if I ask what you pay for trades? Isn't it like $9.99 + other fees?

Now take it to the next step and add a few more rules, like:

Beware of fund managers doing window dressing as we approach the end of the month!

Don't get caught too Long when the market tumbles!

Please don't scare me like that.
