TradeKing is one of the top discount brokers out there and it has been recognized as one of best stock brokers multiple times, including #1 in Customer Service in the SmartMoney broker survey in 2008 and 2010 and #1 in Customer Service in the 2011 Broker Survey. I have been using TradeKing for several years and have talked about the broker and their promotions like this one many times, but if you are not familiar with TradeKing, here’s what you will get from TradeKing: It basically let you buy stocks and ETFs for less. With TradeKing, you pay only $4.95 commission when trading stocks and ETFs online, regardless the number of shares you want to buy or sell.

In addition to stocks and ETFs, you can also trade options and invest in mutual funds with TradeKing. Besides regular brokerage account, TradeKing also offer customers retirement accounts including traditional IRA, ROTH IRA, Rollover IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA, Solo 401K and Coverdell IRA.
