Best Stock Broker via Internet ??

[la-onda]

Hi,
I am thinking to switch my Etrade Germany account (15$ flat per trade) to another broker.

Any recommendations from our board members?


cheers

You might check out Sharebuilder. I don't know all the locations that can use them but it's a good trading site using interent. I used them before switching to Scottrade and only reason I switched is Scottrade has a office in town where I live and if I have any problems I'll be able to go directly to office.

I'm using Interactive brokers from Jule 2005 (I received recommendation from Ramsburg, metro some other experts): http://interactivebrokers.com/en/main.php

I have no experience with other Internet brokers, but I see some advantages in IB:

1. I  pay very small commission: USD 0.005 per share    Maximum value: 0.2% of trade value
2. I can use Stop Loss, Trailing stop and any other order types on OTCB stock (for the same price)
