Ameritrade And Think Or Swim
I am looking for a new broker for Stocks and Forex.?
Hey folks,
I am looking for a new broker for Stocks and Forex.
I have been using TD Ameritrade for stocks for a few years.
Pros: Like their platform.
Cons: They don’t do forex and their commissions are high.
Opened an account with Interactive Brokers last week.
Pros: Brokerage fees are cheap and they cover stocks and forex (and others).
Cons: I don’t like their platform or margin leverage.
Opened a “Paper” Think or Swim account last week.
Pros: Like their platform better than IB’s but not as much as TDA’s. Margin leverage perfect.
Cons: Commissions are high.
So, here’s what I require and am still in search of. Hopefully ya’ll can point me in the right direction.
I need:
A very user-friendly platform
Ability to trade stocks and forex
Low commissions
Margin of 2:1 for stocks
Margin of 100:1 for forex
Thanks in advance for any info!
Happy trading!
What about tradestation? Awesome if you’re an active trader, but expensive if you just want to make a couple of trades a month.
Zecco seems a cheap solution but I haven0t tested on my own.
Hope any of these solutions helps you out.
Good luck.

Swim (Hardcover) $34.2 Swim is a celebration of swimming and the effect it has on our lives. It`s an inquiry into why we swim?the lure, the hold, the timeless magic of being in the water. It`s a look at how swimming has changed over the millennia, how this ancient activity is becoming more social than solitary today. It`s about our relationship with the water, with our fishy forebearers, and with the costumes that we wear. You`ll even find a few songs to sing when you push out those next laps.Swimming enthusiast Lynn Sherr explores every aspect of the sport, from the biology of swimming to the fame of Esther Williams; from turquoise pools and wild water to the training of Olympians; and she reveals the secret of buoyancy so that anyone can avoid the example of the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who lamented, ?Why can`t I swim, it seems so very easy?? When his friend, the biographer Edward John Trelawny, said, ?because you think you can`t,? Shelley plunged into Italy`s Arno River and dropped like a rock. With Swim, you can avoid that happening to you. |
