Every now and then, there will be a TradeKing promotion available and we will list out all the TradeKing promotional codes as soon as we find them. Sometimes, the promotions will involve an existing account holder (you will see what I mean by reading below) and both you and the person who invite you will benefit.
Also, the TradeKing system will only allow me to send an email to those who don’t have an existing account (and who hasn’t started an application yet). So if you are emailing me for a referral, please do not start the application process just yet and wait for my email.

What I Really Think of TradeKing and All The Promotions
To be honest, TradeKing is a great stock broker and many highly recommend using them with or without a TradeKing promotional code. For instance, just as competitors like Zecco continue to increase their commission structure, Tradeking is reducing theirs. In early 2011, they changed their options contract to be $4.95 per trade + $0.65 per contract for up to 8 contracts, but when you trade more, the price is $8.95 + $0.15 per contract, which reduces the commissions a ton if you buy or sell contracts in volume. It’s these types of moves that make Tradeking a company that’s worth considering even when there are no specific sign up promotions going on.
Enough about what I think though. How about you? What do you think of their promotional offers? Is it good enough for you to say yes to a free account? And once you sign up, will you give them a shot by actually funding it and making trades?

Hello – I would like to open a trade king account and want to invest 1500 dollars so could you invite me? Thanks!
From now through the end of the month (Nov 2009), there’s no need to get an invitation as long as you click the special link at the top for the TradeKing promotional code that says “Get $50 When You Open a TradeKing Account Today”.
Once you click through, it will show the free $50 bonus on the page.
Thank you for listing out the Tradeking promotional code. I already signed up and will be getting some free money. I contemplated several months with this broker and I’m glad that they did this to push me over the hump to apply.
So far, I like the interface but I will know more as I start trading.
I’m with sharebuilder, and so is a friend of mine and id like to switch us to tradeking. So are there any new promos that do more than the 50 bucks, like cover the cost of the transfer as well?
TradeKing reimburses you up to $150 of your transfer fees. All you have to do is sign up, then fill out the form to get your money back. You may want to chat with their customer service department about it to make sure but it should be pretty straight forward.
I am thinking of opening an account with TradeKing. Can you confirm they use realtime quotes and are there any surprises that I don’t see on the surface. If this is a broker you would recommend, could you send me an invite. They currently have this promotion again until the end of May … Thanks.
They do real time quotes (actually, pretty much everybody does real time quotes these days). It’s hard to say that there will be no surprises because everyone’s expectations are different. I can tell you, by reading everyone’s comments on all the brokers, that TK has one of the fewest customer complaints though.
Email is sent. Look for an email that came from TradeKing.
Great information on investing and trade king. I’ll check them out as well! I need more simple information such as this, thanks David.
Hey, can you send me a invite for Tradeking so we can both get the $50 referral bonus?
