We tried out over 80 online brokerages and checked everything from the trading platforms and asset indexes to customer service and education centers. We quickly eliminated more than half of the sites and took an even closer look at the remaining brokers, evaluating their trader security and online reputations. We also tested deposits and withdrawals, and spoke to account managers. Every broker featured on the site has clear ratings, a list of pros and cons, and a breakdown of all their fees and commissions.
