Choosing TD Ameritrade

Why should you choose TD Ameritrade?

TD Ameritrade is a broker that tends to all types of traders. Compared to Robinhood which targets beginners/those whom are new to investing or Interactive Brokers which seeks to provide their service to veteran day trader  or those whom trade with algorithmic methods. TD Ameritrade is simple and easy to use while having the necessary platform and research tools to satisfy intra-day traders.

Although TD Ameritrade charges more than its competitors, it counters that flaw with an amazing desktop and mobile trading platform, not to mention Level 2 is FREE to those that make an account ( websites like Investorshub charge up to $65 a month for this tool http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=smatrix&access=ihbb, Etrade will charge you $99.95 for access to their desktop platform because they do not have level 2 elsewhere ).

TD Ameritrade offers 2 different desktop trading platforms, Trade Architect which is better suited for beginners and Think or Swim which is suited for advanced traders whom can trade forex , futures on the platform .On Mobile the TD Ameritrade mobile application  found in the app store is  better suited for beginners while the Think or Swim application is suited towards advanced Traders. ,

When I called Scottrade to ask for birthday trades they said ” we have so many customers it would not be logical for us to give free trades out to everybody “. If you are on the go and cant call the TD Ameritrade land line? Just send them a message on Twitter and Facebook and they will reach out to you within minutes. If it is a sensitive matter which can not be discussed over social media, TD Ameritrade will schedule an appointment and will have someone call you at the best available time.

Final Thoughts

After trading penny stocks, options, stocks & futures over the past few years with other brokers such as Scottrade, Etrade, OptionsHouse, Interactive Brokers, TradeKing, Fidelity, Suretrader ,TD Ameritrade is the best broker in our opinion. Any investor, new or advanced, will find TD Ameritrade perfect for their needs. The main complaint with the broker is cost, but with the extra tools and the quality delivered by TD Ameritrade it is without a doubt, worth the extra $3-4per trade.

To sign up for TD Ameritrade you can simply go on to their homepage https://www.tdameritrade.com/home.page to make an account.

However if you sign up with my referral you will be eligible to receive up to 500 free trades for  60 days !  In addition I will be able to lower your base commission from $9.99 to $7. Therefore after 60 days you will be trading at $7/ trade .That might not sound like a lot but we made over 1500 trades  last year, if  I saved $3 per trade I would have an extra $4500 in my pocket right now !
