Online trade services?

Question

Sort of like etrade and fidelity, does anyone know what is the best company to use. I mainly want to find online trading service does Jim Cramer uses? Or anyother bigshot!!

Answer 1

You should base your decision on practical needs rather than who uses what brokerage. Because you can decide logically. Activity fees may matter if you do not trade every month. Commission fees matter also.

I use interactive brokers. There is $10 each month if I do not create commissions of this amount. They may require a minimum account value. They have an API for program interfaces and also offer a FIPS interface if you have more that $100 in commissions each month.
