Brokerages That Offer Forex Trading Online

ashivapu — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 06:01:32 +0000

Forex trading online has quickly become one of the most common ways to invest money. Because of the ability to leverage huge margins, it allows you to make money without having to have so much of it yourself. While it is risky, it can be very rewarding with a sound forex trading system.

The fact that the market is open 24/7 doesn’t hurt as well. If you’re like most people though, you’d prefer to have all your money consolidated into the least amount of accounts.

Below is a list of stock brokerages that also offer forex trading.

Broker	Commissions (forex)	Notes
Zecco	$0*	Free $50,000 online forex trading practice account
thinkorswim	$0*	100:1 (1%) margin
MB Trading	$0.50 per 10,000 traded	Tight spreads with no markups/markdowns
Interactive Brokers	varies/cheap

* While you pay no commissions to trade forex, your only transaction cost is the dealing spread – the difference between the bid and the ask price.

The brokerages in the list below all have low account minimums, great tools and support, and the ability to grow with you.

Zecco Review – Free Online Stock Trading

ashivapu — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:26:25 +0000

While Zecco has been on the scene for just a couple of years, their initial 100% free stock trading basically changed the entire game for all online stock brokerages and has drastically lowered the barrier for more people to enter the stock market.

Understandably, as Zecco started to grow and increase its members count, the 100% free online trading is not what it truly used to be. Now members are eligible to get 10 free trades per month as long as they maintain a balance of $25,000 or execute 25 trades in a month. Any other trade is still reasonably low compared to other stock brokerages at $4.95 per trade.

All that being said, Zecco still has room to improve when it comes to the tools and applications that it provides; however, you need to weigh whether you would rather have the cheap commissions or more sophisticated tools.

Talk to other members. Thanks to ZeccoShare now members can discuss and share trading ideas with each other for free. Have a question? Post it on the message boards.

Now trade Forex. Just recently Zecco launched their new Forex service along with a virtual platform to practice Forex trading without risking any money.

Stock Brokerage Details

Commissions: Stocks $4.50 flat-rate; Options $4.50 plus .50 per contract

Account Minimums: $0

Overall, what Zecco lacks in available tools and resources makes up for in the extremely cheap trading commissions. Whether you are a new trader or just somebody looking to cut down on commissions cost, Zecco is worth giving it a try.
