TradeMonster Review

Posted by Kate on August 30, 2011

As you know, we’re big fans of a total market approach to investing and tend to use index funds rather than trading actively. However, we also like ETFs as part of our overall portfolio. Since ETFs are traded on the stock market daily, a low-cost brokerage like tradeMONSTER can be a great way to include them in a portfolio.

tradeMONSTER Overall

tradeMonster seems to offer some great tools for an active trader and has competitive pricing. If you trade actively and are looking for a new broker, they are definitely one to consider. However, if you’re a casual trader with a small account, you may want to look for a company with no account opening minimums and rock-bottom stock trade prices.

tradeMONSTER will credit account transfer fees charged by your old broker for up to $250 when you’re a new customer who does a full account transfer for $3,000 or more.
