Try Ameritrade.....u can trade after market and pre market....also you get some free trade if u open with more than $2000..i had 5 accounts but this one has better tools..........And after market trade and pre market trade makes lot of difference....

Well first thing I have to open with 2000 min to be eligible for free trade....Another thing....I cost me 9.99 $ to do trade after ward....while another i just forgot the name....but it has free 100 trade for a month and $3 there after....so what do you think....let me know...anyway ur suggestion is appreciated...

I am using Zecco.com and i am happy so far, only $4.50 per transaction.

My advice to you is find a Scottrade office near you, jut google it. Get 500$ cashier’s check from your bank you might be charged fee or give them a personal check but it takes longer to open an account, they will open for you. A piece of cake.

My recommendation: Go with www.TDAmeritrade.com This seems little expensive but it has so many good stuffs. I tried few of the others and this is the best I am using for few years now. Pre-Market and After-Market is MUST. I have done about 40% of trades Pre and After trading and made usually higher profit comparing to regular hours. some of the other broker seems cheaper but they have hidden charges. such as if you play stocks that has 2 dolalrs or less, they will charge some fees. some dont even have option to trade on pre market or after market. if there is bad news or good news, you have to wait till 9:30 and you might be too late to take the handsome money or will be on big loss if this is a bad news. i have saved many times myself and stopped the loss many times. These days stock markets are doing great so this is being hot all around. Most of the stocks are reaching their resistance lever and it is a DUE now for a Free fall. Day trading will save you or earn you money at this risky time. once the institutions come in and sell off, you will be at the bottom..

Scotttrade does not have pre-market and after hours trading option. Last edited: 19-Apr-09 12:13 AM
