Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Latar Belakang Penjajahan Inggris di Indonesia

Sebuah pendudukan atau penjajahan yang dilakukan oleh sebuah kekuatan besar suatu negara terhadap negara atau tempat lain tentu mempunyai alasannya yakni atau latar belakangnya. Lantas, apa latar belakang penjajahan Inggris di Indonesia? berikut ini beberapa hal yang mengakibatkan Inggris menduduki Indonesia (Nusantara), mencakup :

1. Contingental Stelsel

Contngental Stelsel merupakan kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh Perancis pada masa Napoleon, kebijakan tersebut dikeluarkan untuk memblokade perdagangan Inggris di Eropa. Kebijakan diterapkan pada tahun 1806. Pada ketika itu, Inggris merupakan negara industri yang sedang berkembang pesat sehingga membutuhkan tempat pemasaran yang luas. Dari kebijakan tersebut, Inggris lalu mengakibatkan India dan Indonesia sebagai tempat tempat pemasaran barang-barang hasil Industri.
2. Penyerbuan Inggris di Pulau Jawa

Pada ketika Belanda menguasai Nusantara, tepatnya pada masa pemerintahan Daendels, Inggris menyerbu Pulau Jawa. Daendels lalu dipanggil kembali ke Belanda, kekuasaannya digantikan dengan Gubernur Jenderal Janssens. Tetapi serangan yang dilakukan oleh pihak Inggris ternyata menciptakan Belanda menyerah. Dari kekalahan tersebut lalu dibuatlah Kapitulasi Tuntang / Perjanjian Toentang yang ditandatangani pada tanggal 18 September 1811. Isi dari perjanjian tersebut mencakup :
  • Seluruh Jawa dan sekitarnya diserahkan kepada pihak Inggris
  • Semua tentara Belanda menjadi tawanan pihak Inggris
  • Semua hutang pemerintah Belanda bukan tanggung jawab pihak Inggris
  • Seluruh pegawai Belanda yang mau berhubungan dengan Inggris sanggup memegang kembali Jabatannya

Awal Mula Inggris di Indonesia

Setelah perjanjian ditandatangani, maka pada tanggal 18 September 1811 merupakan tanggal dimulainya penjajahan atau kekuasaan Inggris di Indonesia (Nusantara). Thomas Stamford Raffles lalu diangkat menjadi penguasa oleh Lord Minto (Raja Muda). Pusat pemerintahan kolonialisme Inggris di Indonesia berada di kota Batavia. Setelah menjadi penguasa gres di Hindia, Raffles lalu melaksanakan langkah-langkah supaya kedudukan Inggris di tanah jajahan lebih kuat. Raffles berpegang pada 3 prinsip dalam rangka untuk menjalankan pemerintahannya.
  • Pertama : Segala penyerahan wajib dan juga kerja rodi dihapuskan, lalu digantikan dengan penanaman bebas oleh rakyat.
  • Kedua : Para bupati dimasukkan sebagai kepingan pemerintahan kolonial dan pemungutan pajak yang dilakukan oleh bupati dihapuskan.
  • Ketiga : Dalam acara penanaman bebas, tanah merupakan miliki pemerintah dan rakyat atau petani penggarap dianggap sebagai penyewa tanah.

Kebijakan Masa Pemerintahan Thomas S. Raffles

Kebijakan dalam Bidang Pemerintahan
  1. Pulau Jawa di Bagi menjadi 16 Karesidenan
  2. Untuk memperkuat kekuasaannya, Raffles menjalin korelasi baik dengan para pangeran dan penguasa yang membenci Belanda.
  3. Bupati-bupati atau penguasa pribumi dijadikan sebagai pegawai pemerintahan kolonial dibawah kekuasaan pemerintah pusat.
  4. Mengubah sistem pemerintahan pribumi dengan sistem pemerintahan kolonial.
Kebijakan dalam Bidang Sosial dan Ekonomi
  1. Penghapusan pajak dan penyerahan wajib hasil bumi
  2. Pelaksanaan sistem sewa tanah atau sanggup disebut dengan land rent
  3. Penghapusan perbudakan dan kerja rodi
Kebijakan dalam Bidang Hukum
  1. Hukum peradilan masa Raffles lebih baik dari pada masa penguasaan Daendels
  2. Raffles lebih berdasar pada besar kecilnya suatu kesalahan
  3. Sementara Daendels berdasar pada ras warna kulit
  4. Raffles beranggapan bahwa pengadilan merupakan benteng untuk memperoleh keadilan, maka harus ada benteng yang sama bagi setiap warga

Akhir Masa Pemerintahan Thomas S. Raffles

Perkembangan kolonialisme Inggris di Indonesia pada masa pemerintahan Thomas S. Raffles ternyata tidak berlangsung cukup lama. Tepatnya pada tahun 1816 atau 5 tahun sehabis perjanjian Belanda dan Inggris, penjajahan / penguasaan berakhir. Apa sebabnya? Berakhirnya kekuasaan Inggris disebabkan lantaran kondisi politik di Eropa mulai memanas. Hal ini disebabkan lantaran penguasa besar pada ketika itu Napoleon Bonaparte berhasil dikalahkan oleh raja-raja di Eropa pada tahun 1814.

Dari kekalahan tersebut lalu memunculkan apa yang disebut dengan "Convention of London" atau perjanjian lanjutan antara Belanda dan Inggris. Salah satu poin penting mengenai perjanjian tersebut yakni Belanda mendapatkan kembali tempat jajahan yang sebelumnya diserahkan kepada pihak Inggris dalam perjanjian Tuntang. Dari penyerahan tersebut, maka kekuasaan Inggris di Indonesia / Nusantara / Hindia berakhir dan dilanjutkan kembali oleh Belanda.
