Have been trying to find a good comparison on discount online brokers for trading online.IB is good too but requires you to make 10 dollars of commission trade fees per month or else they charge you the equivlant. So you are looking at minimum of 120 a year to maintain an account with them. This article is very useful! Have been trying to find a good comparison on discount online brokers for trading online.

You have to make a minimum number of trades per month or pay a very high maintenance fee.It is unfortunate that there are so few options for small investors wishing to enter foreign markets. Surprised that Ameritrade or Schwab haven't tried to give ETrade some competition here. I would think it's only a matter of time really as the appetite for access to foreign markets will only increase over time IMO.

I have heard it many times, but never really knew anything about it. Maybe it’s time to take a look at Interactive Brokers. I have heard it many times, but never really knew anything about it.
