请教broker选择

silicon_beaver

(It has been asked many times. But the posts under "股文观止" all locked. cannot reply or comment any more.)

现在Scottrade，$7commision，option更贵。Main issue is slow. 想问问大家有没有其他的好的Broker可以推荐一下。
大概每个月交易2～4笔，

IB ? (不喜欢每月$10的最低收费。)
TOS ?
Lightspeed ?
Optionshouse ?

Concerns：

1. fees (hidden fee, idling fee, maintenance fee...)。这个账户准备做swing/intermediate trade，不会操作特别频繁。手续费尽可能的低一些，大概放25-30K。操作 stock/ETF，会偶尔操作下option跟future，所以希望option/future交易费也比较少。

2. 平台稳定。现在感觉scottrade慢，交易不容易成功，所以希望交易执行速度上稍微快一些。

3. Optional，希望有Local Office或者Customer Service方便一些，临时遇到问题了(譬如存取钱)，找人比较方便。

4. Optional，提供其他的工具集成较好，下载数据, charts 的。similar to Scottrade stream and Elite (easy to use for me).

谢谢大家

Try Ameritrade. I am not sure future trading, rest of them are fine.

I am here USA.

As I know, IB is preferred by hutongers. I would like to hear comments from our hutongers, on IB and other brokers.

Really?
Which markets do they trade?
Do they work for Chinese firms or us firms?

This broker clearly is not for individuals.

Of Cause.
They trade all Markets, USA, Europa, Japan,...,where they can make money.
I think SterlingTrade is 母公司。
有位朋友曾经要我打听一下如何成为Sterling的一级代理商。
有5000美元就可以开个自己的公司账号。
然后就招已经可以稳定赢利的交易员，有的提供办公条件，到公司上班，都是大陆夜班，苦啊。
更多的就是让交易员缴纳保证金，各自在家交易。
代理商提出一定的赢利，交易员承担一切损失，稳赚不赔。
所以胡同网友有良好炒股经验的，可以考虑这个生意。

你们是自己独立在IB开账号，
还是几个人合伙开Family账号，
还是在IB的子公司开账户。

不方便回答就不用为难，算我问了不该问的问题，先道个歉。

我自己直接在IB主页上开的的帐号（第一次听说IB子公司？？）

Thanks MFTHT and 九天.

I decided to use IB and opened a new IB tonight. It took me almost whole night. Longish and tedious. blah, blah, ...

Family账号, yes you can. But share ONE name and run 15 sub-accounts. I don't think I am so crazy. hence I selected 独立 "Individual" 账号.
Thousand of questions, stocks, options, futures, markets (Euro, Asia, USA...). Man, I haven’t been quested in such way a while. Almost faint.
Some questions are not designed well. Like futures. I don't really trade it b4, then it wouldn't allow me to open account. I had to select "I traded futures 1 year". But still no go. At final, I told IB "I am good at trade future". I got pass.   

Didn't think about "子公司", know nothing about it.

九天, you can ask me if you have questions, I would like answer them before I forget.

IB is a good and the most popular broker. And your choice ist correct.
I have no Account of IB. But I have many Account relate to 6 brokers because sometimes somebody ask me to do something.
What I am interesed for IB ist how man compile a simple programm for TA without trading.
Some MT4 provide free NetaEditor to work with Programmining using MQL4 language. If MT5 comes and MT4 disappears, I would like to open a new IB too.

If you are a customer of bank of america, you can check out Merrill Edge.
It gives you 30 free trades every month IF you have 25k cash in your Bank of America accounts.

1. no hidden fee, idle fee, maintenance fee. But do not have future trading.

2. 平台稳定。现在感觉scottrade慢，交易不容易成功，所以希望交易执行速度上稍微快一些。

3. Many bank of america branches have Merrill people there.

4. Their tools aren't the best
