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.

Pengertian Air Tanah Dan 4 Jenis Akifer

Menurut Herlambang (1996:5) air tanah yaitu air yang bergerak di dalam tanah yang terdapat didalam ruang antar butir-butir tanah yang meresap ke dalam tanah dan bergabung membentuk lapisan tanah yang disebut akifer. Lapisan yang gampang dilalui oleh air tanah disebut lapisan permeable, ibarat lapisan yang terdapat pada pasir atau kerikil, sedangkan lapisan yang sulit dilalui air tanah disebut lapisan impermeable, ibarat lapisan lempung atau geluh. Lapisan yang sanggup menangkap dan meloloskan air disebut akuifer. 

Menurut Krussman dan Ridder (1970) dalam Utaya (1990:41-42) bahwa macam-macam akifer sebagai berikut:
  • a. Akifer Bebas (Unconfined Aquifer)

yaitu lapisan lolos air yang hanya sebagian terisi oleh air dan berada di atas lapisan kedap air. Permukaan tanah pada aquifer ini disebut dengan water table (preatiklevel), yaitu permukaan air yang memiliki tekanan hidrostatik sama dengan atmosfer.
  • b. Akifer Tertekan (Confined Aquifer)

yaitu aquifer yang seluruh jumlahnya air yang dibatasi oleh lapisan kedap air, baik yang di atas maupun di bawah, serta memiliki tekanan jenuh lebih besar dari pada tekanan atmosfer.
  • c. Akifer Semi tertekan (Semi Confined Aquifer)

yaitu aquifer yang seluruhnya jenuh air, dimana cuilan atasnya dibatasi oleh lapisan semi lolos air dibagian bawahnya merupakan lapisan kedap air.
  • d. Akifer Semi Bebas (Semi Unconfined Aquifer)

yaitu aquifer yang cuilan bawahnya yang merupakan lapisan kedap air, sedangkan cuilan atasnya merupakan material berbutir halus, sehingga pada lapisan penutupnya masih memungkinkan adanya gerakan air. Dengan demikian aquifer ini merupakan peralihan antara aquifer bebas dengan aquifer semi tertekan.

Tolman (1937) dalam Wiwoho (1999:26) mengemukakan bahwa air tanah dangkal pada akifer dengan material yang belum termampatkan di kawasan beriklim kering menerangkan konsentrasi unsur-unsur kimia yang tinggi terutama ekspresi dominan kemarau. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya gerakan kapiler air tanah dan tingkat evaporasi yang cukup besar.

Besar kecilnya material terlarut tergantung pada lamanya air kontak dengan batuan. Semakin usang air kontak dengan batuan semakin tinggi unsur-unsur yang terlarut di dalamnya. Disamping itu umur batuan juga mempengaruhi tingkat kegaraman air, lantaran semakin bau tanah umur batuan, maka semakin tinggi pula kadar garam-garam yang terlarut di dalamnya.

Todd (1980) dalam Hartono (1999:7) menyatakan tidak semua deretan litologi dan kondisi geomorfologi merupakan akifer yang baik. Berdasarkan pengamatan lapangan, akifer dijumpai pada bentuk lahan sebagai berikut:
  • a. Lintasan air (water course), materialnya terdiri dari aluvium yang mengendap di sepanjang alur sungai sebagai bentuk lahan dataran banjir serta tanggul alam. Bahan aluvium itu biasanya berupa pasir dan karikil.
  • b. Lembah yang terkubur (burried valley) atau lembah yang ditinggalkan (abandoned valley), tersusun oleh materi lepas-lepas yang berupa pasir halus hingga kasar.
  • c. Dataran (plain), ialah bentuk lahan berstruktur datar dan tersusun atas materi aluvium yang berasal dari aneka macam materi induk sehingga merupakan akifer yang baik.
  • d. Lembah antar pegunungan (intermontane valley), yaitu lembah yang berada diantara dua pegunungan, materialnya berasal dari hasil abrasi dan gerak massa batuan dari pegunungan di sekitarnya.
  • e. Batu gamping (limestone), air tanah terperangkap dalam retakan-retakan atau diaklas-diaklas. Porositas kerikil gamping ini bersifat sekunder.
  • f. Batuan vulkanik, terutama yang bersifat basal. Sewaktu pedoman basal ini mengalir , ia mengeluarkan gas-gas. Bekas-bekas gas keluar itulah yang merupakan lubang atau pori-pori sanggup terisi air.
