Ask HN: Best online brokerage?

4 pointsby theantidoteover 16 years ago
I'm looking to do some stock market speculating for a quick gain with little risk. I'll only be investing about $800 and I will be selling pretty quickly thereafter, so fees for both buying and selling should be minimal, so should withdrawal fees. Mint.com integration would be a bonus.<p>As a token of my appreciation I'll do whatever referral thing your brokerage does (if that's allowed by HN) if I choose your site.

Make sure you don't qualify as a pattern day trader (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader</a>)<p>Unless you are looking for education services or becoming a day trade, any discount broker will do. As with most things the more you pay the more you get, ie. thinkorswim isn't the cheapest but they focus on education

zecco, although you need to deposit more than $800 to get the free trades. don't have to actually make use of the full deposit amount, though

I would recommend Wells Trade. If you have more than 25K to invest, then you get 100 free trades. Very good customer service
