I’m going to open a new online trading account so that I can trade stocks. What are my options? Which option is the best in terms of lowest per transaction cost and no hidden fees?
Each online trading service has strengths and weaknesses in different areas. For example, one might have the lowest commission fees while another might have the best charts.
I suggest you browse online trading websites although some parts will be off limit unless you have an account.
Charles Schwab
E*Trade
Firstrade
Scottrade
TD Ameritrade
Personally, I have been using Speedtrader – http://speedtrader.com/ for years and I have been satisfied with costs and service.

The lowest priced online broker is TradeKing. I have used and would recommend them.
All trades are only $4.95. They have a lot of trade options and excellent customer service.
Try intaractivebrokers.com. If you need hand-holding, not for you. However, if you want no-frills availability of many exchanges and good pricing, solid platform, IB is your best bet.
References :
Interctive brokers charge you .005 cents per share with a minimum of $1.
So if you are buying or selling 200 shares it will cost $1.
that is cheap as chips- it also has access to pretty much any market you want to trade.
