How Is Scott Trade?

I think I'll start out with these guys because they allow an account with a minimum of $500.

  1. They advertise $7 trades, is this accurate?
  2. How much does it cost for, stop order, stop loss, and limit order?
  3. Are there any hidden fees?
  4. Are there any Candlestick charts?
  5. Any advantages or disadvantages would be appriciated!

Scottrade is decent; don't expect great charts.

Which online broker site do you guys recommend? Scott-Trade, E-Trade or something else entirely? Or do you recommend not using online broker sites altogether? Thanks for the advice!

Schwab is probably the best broker to use. I don't use charts so I have no idea. Scottrade is pretty good because they give you up to 6 years of financial data for each company. That's the last time I checked.

I know they did away with some of the fees but they are still a public company so they still need to make money for their shareholders. Scottrade is a private company so there is no pressure. Online brokers are good and much, much cheaper then say, the local bank.scottrad is a viable option for the average stock investor with little startup cash because account minimums are low, and commission fees are $7 flat rate.Scottrade also makes stock trading easy and inexpensive.
