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.

Prinsip-Prinsip Ptk [Penelitian Tindakan Kelas]

PRINSIP-PRINSIP PTK [PENELITIAN TINDAKAN KELAS], Dalam bidang pendidikan, khususnya acara pembelajaran,  Action Research berubah menjadi classroom Action Research (CAR) = Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Sebagai suatu penelitian terapan, PTK sangat bermanfaat bagi guru untuk meningkatkan proses dan kualitas atau hasil pembelajaran di kelas. Dengan melaksanakan tahapan-tahapan PTK, guru sanggup menemukan penyelesaikan bagi duduk kasus yang terjadi di kelasnya sendiri, dan bukan di kelas guru yang lain. Tentu saja dengan menerapkan aneka macam ragam teori dan teknik pembelajaran yang relevan secara kreatif. Selain itu, sebagai peneliti praktis, PTK dilaksanakan bersamaan guru melaksanakan kiprah utama yaitu mengajar di dalam kelas, tidak perlu harus meninggalkan siswa. Dengan demikian, PTK merupakan suatu penelitian yang menempel pada guru, yaitu mengangkat masalah-masalah konkret yang dialami oleh guru di lapangan. Dengan melaksanakan PTK, diharapkan guru mempunyai kiprah ganda, yaitu sebagai praktisi dan sekaligus peneliti
1.            Tindakan dan pengamatan dalam proses penelitian yang dilakukan dihentikan mengganggu atau menghambat acara utama, contohnya bagi guru dihentikan hingga mengorbankan acara atau proses mencar ilmu mengajar. Menurut Hopkins (1993: 57-61), pekerjaan utama guru yakni mengajar, dan apapun metode PTK yang kebetulan diterapkan, seyogyanya tidak berdampak mengganggu komitmen guru sebagai pengajar. Ada 3 hal yang sanggup dikemukakan berkenaan dengan prinsip pertama ini. Pertama,  dalam mencobakan sesuatu tindakan pembelajaran yang baru, selalu ada kemungkinan bahwa setidak-tidaknya pada awal-awalnya kesannya kurang memuaskan dari yang dikehendaki. Bahkan mungkin kurang dari yang diperoleh dengan “cara lama” Karena bagaimanapun tindakan perbaika tersebut masih dalam taraf dicobakan. Guru harus memakai pertimbangan serta tanggung jawab profesionalnya dalam menimbang-nimbang : jalan keluar” yang akan mereka tempuh dalam rangka menunjukkan yang terbaik kepada siswa. Kedua,  iterasi dari siklus tindakan juga dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan keterlaksanaan kurikulum secara keseluruhan, khususnya dari segi pembentukan pemahaman yang mendalam yang ditandai oleh kemampuan menerapkan pengetahuan yang dipelajari melalui analisis, sintesis dan penilaian informasi, bukan terbatas dari segi tersampaikannya GBPP kepada siswa dalam rukun waktu yang telah ditentukan. Ketiga,  penetapan siklus tindakan dalam PTK mengacu kepada penguasaan yang ditargetkan pada tahap perancangan, dan sama sekali tidak mengacu kepada kejenuhan gosip sebagaimana lazim dipedomani dalam proses iteratif pengumpulan data penelitian kualitatif.

2.            Masalah guru. Masalah penelitian yang diusahakan oleh guru seharusnya merupakan duduk kasus yang cukup merisaukannya, dan berpijak dari tanggung jawab profesionalnya. Guru sendiri harus mempunyai komitmen ini juga dibutuhkan sebagai motivator intrinsik bagi guru untuk “bertahan” dalam pelaksanaan acara yang jelas-jelas menuntut lebih dari yang sebelumnya dibutuhkan dalam rangka pelaksanaan tugas-tugas mengajarnya secara rutin. Dengan kata lain, pendorong utama pelaksanaan PTK yakni komitmen profesional untuk menunjukkan layanan yang terbaik kepada siswa. Dilihat dari sudut pandang ini, desakan untuk sekedar memberikan pokok bahasan sesuai dengan GBPP sanggup dan perlu ditolak alasannya yakni alasan profesional yang dimaksud .

3.        Tidak terlalu menyita waktu. Metode pengumpulan data yang dipakai tidak menuntut waktu yang berlebihan bagi guru, sehingga berpeluang menggangu proses pembelajaran di kelas. Dengan kata lain, sejauh mungkin harus dipakai mekanisme pengumpulan data yang sanggup ditangani sendiri oleh guru, sementara guru tetap aktif berfungsi sebagai guru yang bertugas secara penuh. Sebagai gambaran, penggunaan tape recorder memang akan menghasilkan rekaman yang lengkap dibanding dengan perekaman manual, namun peningkatan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencermati data melalui pemutaran ulang mungkin akan segera terasa berlebihan. Oleh alasannya yakni itu, dikembangkan teknik-teknik perekaman yang cukup sederhana, namun sanggup menghasilkan gosip yang cukup signifikan serta sanggup dipercaya.

4.      Metode dan teknik yang dipakai dihentikan terlalu menuntut dari segi kemampuan maupun waktunya.

5.      Metodologi yang dipakai harus berkala cermat, sehingga tindakan sanggup dirumuskan dalam suatu hipotesis tindakan yang sanggup diuji di lapangan. Guru sanggup membuatkan seni administrasi yang sanggup diterapkan pada situasi kelasnya, serta memperoleh data yang sanggup dipakai untuk “menjawab” hipotesis yang dikemukakan oleh alasannya yakni itu, meskipun intinya “terpaksa” memperbolehkan “kelonggaran – kelonggaran” namun penerapan asas – asas dasar telaah taan kaidah tetap harus dipertahankan.

6.      Permasalahan atau topik yang dipilih harus benar – benar nyata, menarik, bisa ditangani, dan berada dalam jangkauan kewenangan peneliti untuk melaksanakan perubahan. Peneliti harus merasa terpanggil untuk meningkatkan diri.

7.      Peneliti harus tetap memperhatikan watak dan tata krama penelitian serta rambu – rambu pelaksanaan yang berlaku umum. Dalam penyelenggaraan PTK, guru harus selalu bersikap konsisten menaruh kepedulian tinggi terhadap mekanisme watak yang berkaitan dengan pekerjaannya. Hal ini penting ditekankan alasannya yakni selain melibatkan para siswa, PTK juga hadir dalam suatu konteks organisasional, sehingga penyelenggaraannya pun harus mengindahkan tata krama kehidupan berorganisasi. Artinya, prakarsa PTK harus diketahui oleh pimpinan lembaga, disosialisasikan kepada rekan – rekan dalam forum terkait, dilakukan sesuai dengan tata krama penyusunan karya tulis akademik, di samping tetap mengedepankan kemaslahatan subjek didik.

8.      Kegiatan penelitian tindakan intinya harus merupakan gerakan yang berkelanjutan ( on – going ), alasannya yakni skope peningkatan dan pengembangan memang menjadi tantangan sepanjang waktu. Meskipun kelas, sekaligus mata pelajaran merupakan cakupan tanggung jawab bagi seorang guru, namun dalam pelaksanaan PTK sejauh mungkin harus dipakai classroom exceeding perspective dalam arti permasalahan tidak dilihat terbatas dalam konteks kelas dan / atau mata pelajaran tertentu, melainkan dalam perspektif misi sekolah secara keseluruhan. Perspektif yang lebih luas ini akan terlebih – lebih lagi terasa urgensinya, apabila dalam suatu PTK, terlibat lebih dari seorang peneliti. Dapat juga  dilakukan kerja sama di antara dua atau lebih guru dalam satu sekolah dan / atau guru dari sekolah lain, termasuk dosen LPTK.
