How is Firstrade rated?

Breakdown

Overall Rating: 0 / 5 (N/A)

Firstrade is an especially good online brokerage service for those investors who are just getting started. Along with an easy to use online and mobile experience, Firstrade also features $0 commission on all stocks/ETFs, Options, Mutual Fund, as well as no minimum balance to maintain in order to keep an account. The company may not possess some of the more advanced tools and research as some of the other major players in the industry, but its discounted price and intuitive dashboard make up for this.
