$50 Tradeking Bonus Ends Monday

EDIT: This promotion has ended. Their latest promo can be found HERE.

The Tradeking promotion where you can get $50 free when opening a new account and placing your first trade is ending on Monday November 30th. This is a great deal if you are looking for a discount broker.

Tradeking offers a flat rate of $4.95 on stocks and options with a per contract fee of .$65. The account center is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate through. Entering basic stock is very easy and most importantly they have very fast order execution, which is key when trading online.

I have been using Tradeking for over 5 years and love their service. I am no means a huge investor, but they have everything I need to manage a basic stock/mutual fund portfolio.

You can open a brokerage account anytime, but why miss out on $50 free dollars. And with Tradeking’s low commision rate, that equates to 10 free trades to get you started!

Optionshouse Promo 2009 Get 100 Free Trades With New Account

There is a new Optionshouse promotion where you can get 100 commission free trades when opening a new account. To qualify for the Optionshouse bonus, you must open a new account with $3000. You will then receive 100 free trades that can be used within 60 days of opening your account. Make sure you fund your account with the $3000 within 45 days of your account approval. You must use the promo code FREE100 when during the account opening process.

Optionshouse is a full service discount brokerage that specializes on options, however they have the lowest stock commission I have ever seen. They let you trade stocks for a flat rate of $2.95 per trade.  Optionshouse is also protected by SIPC insurance. SIPC will cover the securities of customers of its members up to $500,000 of which $100,000 can be cash. This protection does not cover loss due to market conditions however.

I have never used them personally, but with such a low stock trading commission I may consider them as an option for my trading account.

For those of you that are not familiar with Tradeking, they offer a flat $4.95 commission on stocks and options. Tradeking was founded in 2005 by the founders of Suretrade.com which was eventually sold to TDAmeritrade. All accounts are SIPC protected, so you can be sure that your money is safe. I’ve had a Tradeking account since 2006 and use it as my primary trading account. Why spend $10 or more for a stock commission with the other guys when Tradeking offers the same service for half as much! There are no account minimums or inactivity fees. (note that in this special case to qualify for the Tradeking Promotion there is a $2500 minimum to get the free $50 but once the 6 months is up, there is no minimum balance). Check out my Tradeking Review for an indepth review of their service.

Some other cool features they offer is an ACH feature where you can move money in and out of your linked checking account. There is also a money market sweep that invests your uninvested money in a money market account that earns interest. They also offer loads of educational material to help you understand the basics of investing with stocks and options in case you are just starting out. I learned how to trade options with Tradeking very quickly using their helpful training tools.

You can also send them any paper stock certificates you have to them and they will add them to your account for free. I had to use this feature once with a stock purchase plan I had for a company I worked at. It was a very simple process and I was able to trade those stocks electronically in less than 2 weeks.
