Options Trading Tutorial

What's a cheap online stock trading option?

I want an online stock trading company that trades stocks at low rates, percentage commission prefered.

1. Depends on where you are from. I use BARX
2. Tradeking has pretty good rates, and a flexible trading platform. You get what you pay for with on line brokerage companies, that is to say if you pay a little more you will get more features for research.
3. www.sharebuilder.com real time trades $9.95 per trade.
4. As long as you're not a new investor; Interactive Brokers ThinkOrSwim Terranova Trading Lightspeed If you're a new trader (less than 2 years experiance); Charles Schwab Fidelity
5. I use TradeKing for trading options and stocks $2 and more. They charge 4.95 per trade (options have a .65 extra fee per contract). For stocks under $2 I like Scottrade because they charge $7, and except for the real cheap stocks, they don't charge an extra per share charge that TradeKing and the other brokerages do.
6. I use tradeking.com because I like to dabble in options and I like the platform. Zecco.com offers 10 free trades a month, with cheap trades thereafter.
