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.

Memaknai Kembali Kata 'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia'

Tulisan ini perlu aku tulis. Setelah membaca kembali postingan usang yang berjudul 'Arti Hizbut Tahrir alias HTI dalam Bahasa Indonesia'. Setelah aku baca kembali postingan tersebut, tampaknya kurang greget. Mengingat goresan pena tersebut aku buat pada bulan Mei tahun 2017. Sebelum HTI resmi dilarang, di Indonesia.

Memang, pelarangan Hizbut Tahrir di Indonesia bahwasanya tinggal menunggu waktu. Bagaimana tidak, HTI mengusung konsep khilafah, kepemimpinan global. Satu orang memimpin seluruh umat islam di dunia. Maka, otomatis ingin mengganti sistem negara. Ingin mengganti dasar negara, yang di Indonesia berupa Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 dan Pancasila, sebagai konsensus dalam hidup bernegara.

Dengan tujuan menghapus sekat negara, meniadakan nasionalisme kewilayahan, terperinci sangat bertentangan dengan Pancasila. Sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan dasar negara, sudah semestinya untuk dilarang. Jangankan berkembang, ada saja pun seharusnya memang tidak boleh.

Kembali kepada kaitan dengan goresan pena sebelumnya, aku sampaikan bahwa Hizbut Tahrir artinya Pasukan Pembebesan, atau Partai Pembebasan. Tentu itu hanya sebuah nama. Karena masih menggunakan nama itu, menganggap bahwa Indonesia belum merdeka. Indonesia masih dijajah. Jelas ini yaitu kebijaksanaan yang tidak tepat.

Indonesia sudah merdeka. Buktinya sudah bebas untuk melaksanakan kebaikan. Seperti kutipan dari Panglima Besar Jendral Soedirman, merdeka itu bukan berarti bebas melaksanakan apa saja. Merdeka yaitu bebas melaksanakan kebaikan. Nah, bukankah di Indonesia sudah bebas melaksanakan kebaikan, adapun yang melaksanakan ketidakbaikan justru yang sembunyi-sembunyi.



Dari segi agama, khususnya agama Islam, yang menjadi dasar bagi HTI, sudah bebas melaksanakan ibadahnya. Tidak pernah dihalang-halangi. Mau ibadah tiap waktu boleh, mau ibadah di masjid dibantu, difasilitasi. Mau menggelar ibadah dan program keagamaan di lapangan dan alun-alun kota, juga difasilitasi, dijaga kelancarannya, dijamin kemanannya. Masak dalam kondisi ibarat ini masih diajajah? Masih mau dimerdekakan?

Kemudian, terkait klarifikasi perihal bendera yang identik dengan HTI, pada goresan pena sebelumnya. Bukan lagi identik. Itu memang benderha HTI. Buktinya, bendera itu 'hanya' dipakai oleh HTI. Bendera berwarna hitam, dengan goresan pena arab yang khat/font/jenis hurufnya begitu. Meskipun isinya yaitu lafal tauhid, tidak sanggup diklaim bahwa itu bendera seluruh umat Islam hanya alasannya ada kalimat tauhid.

Buktinya, umat islam selain HTI tidak menggunakan bendera itu. Benderha dengan lafal tauhid ada yang menjadi identitas tidak hanya milik HTI. Tapi juga dipakai oleh Alqaeda, Al-nusra, Arab Saudi, dan ISIS. Lafaznya sama, warnanya beda, khat/jenis hurufnya beda.

Maka, dalam konteks ini, HTI tidak hanya sanggup dilihat dari segi bahasa. HTI secara kontekstual, sanggup diartikan sebagai kelompok atau organisasi yang sekarang telah dihentikan oleh negara, alasannya bertentangan dengan dasar negara. Selain bertentangan dengan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia, inspirasi dan konsep khilafah yang digaungkan oleh HTI yang 'katanya' satu-satunya konsep bernegara menurut agama juga ditentang oleh kebanyak umat islam yang lain. Karena lebih banyak mudaratnya dari pada manfatnya.
