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.

Kaedah Atau Kaidah, Faedah Apa Faidah? Penulisan Kata Baku Yang Tepat

Penulisan Kata Baku dan Tidak Baku yaitu menjadi hal penting bagi pelajar. Materi penulisan kata baku dan tidak baku ini selalu muncul dan terintegrasi dengan semua bahan pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di sekolah. Karena intinya setiap tulisan, harus ditulis sesuai dengan kaidah penulisan kata baku, dalam ragam apapun. Apalagi berkaitan dengan penggunaan kata dan abjad yang tepat.


Salah satu alasan munculnya kesalahan penulisan kata baku yaitu ketidakpahaman pemakai bahasa Indonesia akan penggunaan huruf. Kebingungan antara suara /i/ dan /e/ dengan abjad i dan abjad e. Misalnya yang sering ditemukan dalam kata praktik, apotek, antre, risiko. Kata-kata tersebut sering ditulis salah praktek* apotik* antri* dan resiko* penulisan ini tidak baku.

Hal ini sebab memang kata praktik dalam pelafalan di masyarakat menjadi /praktek/. Begitu seterusnya. Hal itu pula yang terjadi dengan kata kaidah dan faedah. Kedua kata tersebut sudah sama-sama diakui sebagai potongan dari bahasa Indonesia.

Jika dilihat dari asal-usul katanya, tentu kedua kata tersebut merupakan serapan dari bahasa Arab. Kaidah berasal dari bahasa Arab qaaidatan (qaaidah) yang artinya 'kepercayaan'. Dalam penggunaan kata qaidah ini berkaitan juga dilakukan oleh kelompok (yang disebut) teroris pimpinan Osama bin Laden alqaeda kata ini berawal dari akar kata yang sama. Sementara kata faedah berasal dari kata faaidatan (فائدة) yang bersinonim dengan 'bunga' yang berarti keuntungan atau dalam bahasa Inggris disebut benefit.

Dari bentuk yang mirip, dan dari bahasa asal yang sama yaitu bahasa Arab kok dapat terjadi perbedaan antara bentuk baku kaidah yang memakai abjad i dan faedah yang harus memakai abjad e. Sementara dalam bahasa asalnya, sama-sama berasal dari abjad hamzah yang beraharakat kasrah.

Hal ini dapat dijelaskan dengan alasan berikut:

Mungkin kata kaidah dan faedah sama-sama berasal dari bahasa Arab, tapi proses penyerapannya yang berbeda. Jika kaidah diserap pribadi dari bahasa Arab, sementara faedah sudah melalui proses pengenalan dari bahasa daerah, seolah-olah berasal dari bahasa daerah, kemudian dari bahasa kawasan tersebut diserap ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Maka, jadilah yang baku yaitu faedah.

Itu kalau dibahas secara nalar, meskipun bila ditanyakan lebih dalam, bila memang diserap ke dalam bahasa kawasan terlebih dulu, mengapa faedah bukan paedah bukankah bahasa kawasan nusantara tidak mempunyai suara /f/ atau /v/. Seperti halnya nafas yang berasal dari bahasa Arab juga tapi menjadi napas dalam bentuk bakunya dalam Bahasa Indonesia.

Intinya, proses pembentukan istilah dalam Bahasa Indonesia melalui proses yang panjang dan tidak dari satu jalur, maka yang perlu kita ketahui kini yaitu bentuk baku yang sesuai dalam sumber acuan terpercaya, dalam hal ini adala Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia yang diterbitkan oleh Pusat Bahasa, forum resmi pemerintah yang ada di bawah Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan yang dapat diakses melalui aplikasi luring dan yang daring.

Dalam KBBI V daring, disebutkan bahwa faedah memiliki arti 1) guna; manfaat; 2) sesuatu yang menguntungkan; untung; laba. bentuk tidak bakunya yaitu paedah, faidah. Sementara kata kaidah memiliki satu klarifikasi arti yaitu rumusan asas yang menjadi hukum; aturan yang sudah pasti; patok; dalil dalam ilmu matematika. Bentuk tidak bakunya yaitu kaedah.

Jangan resah lagi ya, antara kata kaidah dan faedah dengan bentuk tidak bakunya kaedah dan faidah.
