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.

Dongeng Sasatoan : Ajag Nangtang Jelema

 Di hiji rungkun peucang ngiuhan bangkit nu hor Dongeng Sasatoan : Ajag Nangtang Jelema

Dongeng Sasatoan : Ajag Nangtang Jelema, Usum katiga kawilang panjang, atuh panon poé ogé karasa panas morérét.Jujukutan taya nu jadi, paréang nungtut paraéh. Di hiji rungkun peucang ngiuhan bangkit nu horéam lunta, geus teu werateun

Awakna begang kari kulit jeung tulang, leumpangna gé geus rarampéolan. Keur uleng mikiran nasibna, teu kanyahoan ti mana jolna ujug-ujug korosak ajag nyampeurkeun bari babaung.

”Ieu geuning hakaneun aing téh,” ceuk ajag, ”Awas, peucang, manéh ulah boga pikiran lumpat. Ka mana ogé moal burung diberik . .  pokna deui bari angger babaung.
Sakadang peucang reuwas nataku, tapi gancang mindingan kareuwasna.

“Duh . . . boro-boro mun dapat lumpat, leumpang ogé geus teu kuat. Seug komo anjeun mah kapan mahluk anu pohara gagahna . . . ” Pohara bungahna ajag ngadéngé omongan peucang kitu téh.
“Ari jeung Si Coréléng?” ceuk Ajag, maksudna hayang ngabandingkeun jeung rnaung.
”Enya ogé kasebut-na raja leuweung . . . kuring mah wani nyekel anjeun . . .”
”Maksudna?”
“Enya . . . lamun téa mah anjeun tarung jeung maung, anjeun nu bakal meunang,” témbal peucang.
”Naha? Kapan geus katotol tukang nekukan sapi . . . munding . . .”

Da puguh anjeun mah ditakdirkeun boga awak alus, henteu ngagibleg! Sedeng Si Coréléng mah kapan anjeun gé apal, kalah awak baé nambru ari gawé ngan heuay jeung héés, najan boga sihung gé . . . “

Teu kaampeuh bungahna ajag ngadéngé omongan peucang. Terus babaung némbongkeun huntuna nu ranggéténg. Jurungkunung ngangkat dua sukuna nu hareup, némbongkeun kasombonganana.

"Tapi . . . ," omong peucang, ngarandeg, ”Aya nu leuwih besar lengan berkuasa ti anjeun . . 
“Hah?! Saha? Sato naon? Pok geura sebutkeun!” témpas ajag, mudigdig ambek.

”Henteu . . . henteu boga sihung . . . henteu boga kuku seukeut, malah sukuna ogé dua . . ."
“Hahahaaa . . .” ajag seuri ngeunah, ”At'uh sakali nekuk ogé ngarumpuyuk. Seug komo sukuna dua mah . . . alah naon kakuatanana,”omong ajag, ngéjék.
”Enya ku kitu téa mah, tapi jelema mah boga pakarang nu leuwih ampuh ti sihung.”
”Naon? Naon pakarangna?”
“Akal . . .jelema mah boga akal!" jawab peucang.

Awahing ku ambek ngadéngé aya nu leuwih gagah ti dirina, lat baé poho yén Inanéhna téh keur nyanghareupan kadaharan nu girinyih nyatana peucang.

”Hésé nerangkeunana nalar mah. Ayeuna mah hayu baé urang buktikeun," ceuk peucang.
Peucang kaluar tina rungkun, dituturkeun ku ajag anu teu weléh babaung. Barang tepi ka jalan satapak, paragi liliwatan jelema. Randeg peucang ngarandeg.

”Tah, di dieu jelerna téh sok ngaliwatna. Ayeuna mah hayu urang nyumput di nu suni, urang intip ti kajauhan,” ceuk peucang deui. Peucang jeung ajag nyarumput, buni naker.

Teu sawatara lila, ti kajauhan témbong paninggaran, mawa bedil.
"Tub, lamun itu enya jelema . . .” omong peucang, “Pék kainyah geura pegat!”

Teu loba omong, gajleng ajag kaluar tina panyumputan rnuru ka jalan. Ngajega bari babaung di tengah jalan. Barang nénjo aya ajag babaung, paninggaran ngarandeg, rikat ngokangkeun bedilna.
