I’m really sick of all the “suggest a broker” post

[joesnyftdze]

@gurshwin Agreed, a sidebar list for reference would be useful for new arrivals, but people really need to do their own research and make decisions that suit their own needs (day/swing trading, long term investing etc). I've seen the same questions posted almost every day.

@gurshwin A sticky or sidebar with the brokers and tradable securities for each would solve a lot of this.

 

[spicer]

@gurshwin Totally agree, some are useful about specifics rules but most of the request and questions could be resolve after 2 or 3 google search

@gurshwin I think with the constant advertising on certain trading platforms, and it is constant, literally every channel, every other YouTube ad is a trading ad to sign up to this platform and that, it’s natural that the next thing to follow are people who have no idea what they’re doing and hit up the forums to say, which one do I go for, naturally some kind soul be like oh this is a good option and bam! But it will literally be hundreds of thousands of people

 

[resjudicata]

@gurshwin so which broker do you suggest?

 

[iroam]

@gurshwin So, anyone using Degiro here? I wanted to make an account there and get familiar with the interface before starting to invest, but do they charge you anything if you just create an account there, even if you don't buy/trade anything?

 

[phylliswong]

@iroam It doesn't cost anything to open and hold an account. To verify the account they need a bank transfer, but it can be 0,01€.

 

[splooshqueen]

@phylliswong I saw that they charge 0.004 per share on the US companies , correct? Isn't that bad for shares below $20?

 

[phylliswong]

@splooshqueen Yeah that's right, it isn't that bad but can be expensive for penny stocks that you buy in large amounts of shares.

 

[splooshqueen]

@phylliswong Thats expensive for me cause i trade with 25K. I found an italian bank which offers 9€ per trade and if you do more than 4 in a month Is becomes 4€.
