Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

4 Prinsip Geografi Dan Klarifikasi Lengkap

Prinsip geografi menjadi dasar pada uraian, pengkajian, dan pengungkapan gejala, variabel, faktor, dan kasus geografi. Pada waktu melakukan pendekatan terhadap objek yang kita pelajari, dasar atas prinsip ini harus selalu menjiwainya. Secara teoretis, menurut Nursid Sumaatmadja prinsip itu terdiri atas prinsip penyebaran, prinsip interelasi, prinsip deskripsi, dan prinsip keruangan.


a.    Prinsip Penyebaran
Prinsip penyebaran, yaitu suatu tanda-tanda yang tersebar tidak merata di permukaan bumi yang meliputi bentang alam, tumbuhan, hewan, dan manusia. Gejala dan fakta geografi, baik yang berkenaan dengan alamnya, maupun mengenai manusianya, tersebar di permukaan bumi. Penyebaran tanda-tanda dan fakta tadi, tidak merata dari satu wilayah ke wilayah lainnya. 

Dengan memperhatikan dan menggambarkan penyebaran tanda-tanda dan fakta tadi dalam ruang, kita telah dibimbing untuk mengungkapkan kasus yang berkenaan dengan tanda-tanda dan fakta tadi. Dengan melihat dan menggambarkan berbagai tanda-tanda pada peta, kita akan mampu mengungkapkan hubungannya satu sama lain. Yang selanjutnya juga akan mampu meramalkannya lebih lanjut.

b.      Prinsip Interelasi
Prinsip interelasi, yaitu suatu hubungan saling terkait dalam ruang, antara tanda-tanda yang satu dengan yang lain. Dasar kedua yang digunakan untuk menelaah dan mengkaji tanda-tanda dan fakta geografi, yaitu prinsip interelasi. Prinsip interelasi ini secara lengkap yaitu interelasi dalam ruang. 

Setelah kita melihat tanda-tanda dan fakta geografi itu penyebarannya dalam ruang atau di wilayah-wilayah tertentu, kita akan mengungkapkan pula hubungan antara faktor fisis dengan faktor fisis, antara faktor insan dengan faktor manusia, dan antara faktor fisis dengan faktor manusia. Dari antar hubungannya itu, kita akan mampu mengungkapkan karakteristik tanda-tanda atau fakta geografi tempat atau wilayah tertentu.

c.     Prinsip Deskripsi
Prinsip deskripsi, yaitu penjelasan lebih jauh mengenai gejala-gejala yang diselidiki/dipelajari. Deskripsi, selain disajikan dengan ukiran pena atau kata-kata, mampu juga dilengkapi dengan diagram, grafik, tabel, gambar, dan peta.
Pada interelasi tanda-tanda satu dengan tanda-tanda yang lain atau antara faktor yang satu dengan faktor yang lain, selanjutnya mampu dijelaskan sebab-akibat dari interelasi tadi. Penjelasan atau deskripsi, merupakan suatu prinsip pada geografi dan studi geografi untuk mengatakan gambaran lebih jauh perihal tanda-tanda dan kasus yang kita pelajari.


d.    Prinsip Korologi
Prinsip korologi, yaitu gejala, fakta ataupun kasus geografi di suatu tempat yang ditinjau pesebarannya, interelasinya, interaksinya, dan integrasinya dalam ruang tertentu, alasannya ruang itu akan mengatakan karakteristik kepada kesatuan tanda-tanda tersebut. Prinsip korologi, merupakan prinsip geografi yang komprehensif karena memadukan prinsip-prinsip lainnya. Prinsip ini merupakan ciri dari geografi modern. 

Pada prinsip korologi ini, gejala, fakta, dan kasus geografi ditinjau penyebarannya, interelasinya, dan interaksinya dalam ruang. Baik penyebaran maupun interelasinya dan interaksinya dalam hubungan terdapatnya pada ruang tertentu. Faktor, sebab, dan tanggapan terjadinya suatu tanda-tanda dan masalah, selalu terjadi dan tidak mampu dilepaskan dari ruang yang bersangkutan. Ruang ini mengatakan karakteristik kepada kesatuan gejala, kesatuan fungsi, dan kesatuan bentuk karena ruang itu juga merupakan kesatuan.

Dalam meninjau sesuatu tanda-tanda menurut prinsip korologi, misalnya pertanian, selalu diperhatikan penyebarannya dalam ruang, interelasinya dengan komponen-komponen atau faktor-faktor yang menunjang pertanian, dan interaksi pertanian itu dengan kehidupan pada ruang yang bersangkutan.
