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.

Kampungku di Tahun 2100

Orientasi

Seperti biasa, di ketika demam isu kemarau. Aku bermain layang-layang di sawah. Bersama dengan seorang sahabatku. Kebetulan banyak padi yang sudah dipanen. Jadi, saya dan Ababal, sahabatku ini leluasa di sawah yang sudah dipanen.

Ababal ini andal menciptakan layang-layang. Kami menciptakan layangan 'toncak' yang besar. Maka kami berdua harus memegangi tambagnya ketika menerbangkan layang-layang ini. 

Ketika saya dan babal hendak bergeser ke kawasan yang teduh, tiba-tiba ada angin berhembus kencang. Aku dan Ababal sekuat tenaga memegang layang-layang besar kami.

"Jo, anginnya kencang. Pegang sekua tenaga!" Ababal berteriak padaku. 

Layang-layang kami yang sudah tinggi risikonya berputar. Menukik tajam. Menyambar antena wifi milik tetangga kami. Tersangkut. Seketika itu, tubuh kami lemas. Semua tampak lemas.

Komplikasi

"Jo, bangun, Jo. Kita di mana ini?" Ababal tampak bingung. Kami tadi di sawah. Sekarang juga di sawah. Tapi sawahnya di atas gedung-gedung tingkat. Tinggi.

"Gimana kita pulangnya, Ya?" Kutanya begitu, Ababal juga geleng-geleng kepala. Kami tampak sangat asing. Pakaian  kami aneh. Celana seragam sekolah dan kaus oblong yang sudah lusuh. Orang-orang di kota ini sangat rapi. Tidak ada sampah. Tidak ada yang terlalu kurus. Tidak ada yang terlalu gemuk.

Kami berjalan menyusuri tepi gedung bertingkat. Sambil masih terus merasa bingung. 

"Gini, Saja, Jo. Kita ikuti tali tambang ini. Kita ambil toncak kita. Tempat ini berubah. Tapi aku, kamu dan tambang ini tetap. Tidak berubah. Pasti ada jalan keluar."

Akhirnya, kami susuri tambang. Mencari layang-layang kami. Orang-orang yang lewat dengan motor terbang melihat asing ke arah kami. Karena takut, begitu bepapasan dengan orang lagi. Kami bersembunyi.

"Hei... kalian orang asing. Diam di tempat!" Terdengar bunyi yang sangat nyaring. Melalui pengeras suara. Tiba-tiba di belakang ada patroli polisi dengan motor terbang. Lengkap dengan bunyi sirine yang meraung-raung.

Kami lari sekuat tenaga. Mengikuti untaian tambang layang-layang. Nafas sudah terengah-engah. Hampir habis. Layang-layang sudah terlihat. Di samping sebuh parabola besar. Di ujung bangunan yang cukup tinggi. Kami melopat dari gedung di dekatnya. Tersungkur. Tapi selamat. Polisi tadi sudah tidak mengejar. 

"Siapa kalian? Kenapa di sini?" Tanya seorang lelaki setengah dewasa. 

"Maaf, Tuan. Saya Mutijo. Ini teman saya Ababal. Kami ingin mengambil ini. Layang-layang kami." Aku menjelaskan.

"Iya, kami mohon maaf. Kami hanya ingin mengambil ini dan pulang." Ababal menimpali.

Resolusi

"Kalian mau pulang ke mana? Mari saya antar pulang." Lelaki bau tanah itu mengajak kami masuk ke rumah. Kami ikuti saja. Karena memang tidak paham, harus pulang ke mana.

Sesampai di dalam rumah, Bapak bau tanah menjelaskan, "Kakek buyut saya dulu bercerita. Suatu ketika niscaya pasti ada yang mengambil layang-layang. Kalau ada yang ambil. Harus dikembalikan. Karena bukan hak kita. Begitu katanya. Cerita itu terus berlanjut dari generasi ke genarasi. Awalnya saya pun tidak percaya. Sekarang yang mengambil ialah kalian."

Sambil bercerita, bapak bau tanah ini mengajak kami turun ke lantai paling bawah. Di lantai itu ada pintu yang terlihat beda dengan pintu-pintu lainnya. Pintu yang sama dengan rumah tetangga kami. Yang hanya berjarak dua gang dari rumahku. Rumah Cak Burhan. 

Di samping pintu itu, ada sebuah kalender. Tahun 2100. "Pak, apa benar ini tahun 2100?" Tanyaku. Bapak bau tanah hanya mengangguk. Hati-hati di jalan.

"Teruslah belajar, ya. Hati-hati jikalau pulang ke rumah." Pesan Pak bau tanah kepada kami.

Begitu keluar dari pintu rumah Cak Burhan, kami merasa hanya pulang ke rumah. Ketika menoleh ke belakang. Kami tahu, ini halaman rumah Cak Burhan. Rumah yang sudah agak usang ditinggal alasannya Cak Burhan pindah ke rumah istrinya.

Sadar sudah dapat pulang, Ababal berteriak kegirangan, "Ayo, Jo! Cepat pualang. Aku sudah lapar!". Kami bergegas pulang. Berlari. Menuju rumah. Sambil memupuk semangat. Untuk dapat bertahan hingga masa depan.
