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.

Contoh Orientasi Fabel Yang Diawali Dengan Latar

Seperti telah dibahas dalam artikel sebelumnya, teks fabel mempunyai empat struktur. Keempat struktur fabel tersebut mencakup bab orientasi, komplikasi, dan resolusi, serta koda yang boleh ada boleh juga tidak ada. Kecenderungannya teks fabel mempunyai keempat struktur lengkap tersebut.

Kali kita bahas pola teks kisah fabel yang memakai pola pengembangan diawali dengan latar. Jelas, yang dimaksud di sini yakni bab orientasi. Karena orientasi teks fabel berupa pengenalan awal, baik pengenalan tokoh, pengenalan latar, dan pengenalan konflik atau masalah.

Sebenarnya tidak ada perbedaan isi yang mencolok antara orientasi yang diawali dengan latar, maupun orientasi yang diawali dengan konflik atau yang diawali dengan masalah. Sama saja. Karena inti orientasi memang berisi ketiga hal tersebut.



Akan tetapi yang lebih banyak dibahas di sini yakni orientasi pola teks fabel yang diaali dengan latar. Sebelumnya harus dijelaskan bahwa dalam teks fabel (juga teks fantasi dan teks narasi) latar itu sanggup dibagi lagi menjadi tiga jenis, yaitu latar waktu, latar tempat, dan latar suasana.

Sebuah pola bab orientasi teks fabel sanggup diawali dengan kalimat yang berisi salah satunya atau bahkan ketiganya sekaligus.

Berikut ini yakni pola bab orientasi dengan diawali dengan latar.

Contoh Orientasi Pertama: Diawali dengan Latar Tempat.


Di sebuah hutan yang rimbun, kawasan pohon-pohon besar bangkit tegap dan udara sangat segar, terdapat sebuah sungai yang mengalir meliuk-liuk. Di dalam sungai itu, hiduplah seekor ikan yang berjulukan Muja. Dia yakni penguasa sungai itu.
Dalam pola orientasi di atas, kalimat pertama menjelaskan perihal latar fabel. Yaitu di sebuah hutan dengan pohon besar dan udara sejuk. Jadi, kalimat pertama hanya menjelaskan perihal latar tempat. Maka disebut dengan pola pengembangan orientasi yang diawali dengan latar tempat.

Contoh Orientasi Kedua: Diawali dengan Latar Waktu.

Matahari sudah menampakkan senyumnya. Awan tipis-tipis dan kabut sudah mulai menghilang. Sementara kawanan kelelawar yang dari sebelumnya mondar-mandir sudah tidak lagi tampak. Gajah yang semenjak semalam kelaparan sudah mulai bersemangat untuk mencari makan.

Dalam pola paragraf orientasi di atas. Kalimat pertama menggambarkan perihal keadaan pagi hari. Meskipun tidak secara eksklusif ditulis 'pada pagi hari' namun penggambaran yang ditampilkan dalam orientasi di atas menawarkan keadaan pagi hari. Maka sanggup dikatakan bahwa, teks fabel yang diawali dengan paragraf sepeti di atas sanggup disebut dengan fabel yang diawali dengan latar waktu.

Contoh Orientasi Ketiga: Diwali dengan Latar Suasana.

Cuaca sangat dingin. Angin bertiup sangat kencang. Keadaan di dalam hutan juga sangat gelap alasannya kunang-kunang enggan keluar dari persembunyiannya. Sementara bulan dan bintang di langit tertutup oleh awan tebal.

Dalam pola pargraf di atas, kalimat pertama menggambarkan perihal suasana hutan yang mencekam. Makara sanggup dikatakan bahwa fabel yang diawali dengan paragraf di atas yakni pola fabel yang diwali dengan latar suasana.

Contoh Orientasi Keempat: Diwali dengan latar waktu, tempat, dan suasana sekaligus.


Pagi hari yang cerah di dalam hutan yang rimbun, udara sangat sejuk. Semua kawanan binatang berkumpul. Masing-masing kawanan binatang diwakili oleh sepasang jantan dan betina. Kecuali bebek. Tidak satu pun perwakilan belibis yang tiba untuk menghadiri konferensi luar biasa dewan binatang.

Dalam pola paragraf di atas, kalimat pertama sudah mengandung tiga jenis latar sekaligus. Perhatikan kembali kalimat pertama. Dalam kalimat tersebut, sudah dijelaskan bahwa  latar tempatnya di hutan, latar waktunya pagi hari, dan latar suasana disebutkan sejuk. Sudah komplit.

Demikian contoh-contoh bab orientasi fabel yang diawali dengan latar. Kita sanggup memakai salah satunya sebagai awal cerita. Selamat menulis fabel!
