Trade King as a ETrade Alternative

by MoneyNing

There is currently a promotion at Tradeking if you sign up through the links presented in this post. If you open an account and fund $2,500 dollars, Tradeking will deposit $50 into the account after your first trade!
I’ve always heard of but never tried it. As I look for alternatives in an effort to diversify and minimize my risk of holding my ETrade stock and assets under my ETrade stock account, I’ve decided to take a look at this discount brokerage.

From what I can see so far, it’s a strong contender for my investment assets! TradeKing’s commission on each trade is only $4.95 and option contracts are only $0.65, much cheaper than others.

Opening My Trade King Account
Opening the account was pretty easy to do. After I filled out a few forms, and within minutes, I was in the main page.

Trade King’s Interface
Seems pretty easy to use. Definitely looks good enough for me to look into it further. What I like is actually its simple design because it just makes everything load faster which helps the responsiveness of the site.

Protection
Each account is protected up to $25 million, check.

Conclusion
So far so good. If you are looking for a brokerage to get started with, I encourage you to check out .

My husband uses Tradeking and I haven’t heard him complain about it so it should be pretty good!
