Zecco New Account $100 Bonus Promotion

October 29, 2011

Zecco.com, a popular discount broker, is currently offering a $100 bonus when you open a new account. You need to be referred to be eligible for this promotion. You must also fund your new account with $10,000 and leave it in the account for at least 90 days after the account opening date. There is no trading requirement to receive the bonus unlike other brokerage bonuses.

Zecco Trading offers stock traders for a flat rate of $4.95 per trade and options for $4.95 + .65 per contract. They have an ACH feature that lets you move money back and forth between your Zecco account and linked bank account. Zecco also has quite a bit of community tools, where you can see what other traders are buying and selling. This is great if you are new to the stock market as you can follow others to determine your strategy. Another nice thing about Zecco is that there are no minimum balances, inactivity fees or trading requirements on the account, so trade as little or as much as you want as you only need to pay the trading commission.

To receive a referral you can either get one from a friend, or I can refer you. If you need a referral, complete the form below and I will get you one as soon as possible. Also note that once you have an account, you can refer others and receive a $100 bonus for doing so.

Tradeking $100 Bonus Promotion

August 1, 2011

tradeking promo
NOTE: This bonus has expired. Please see the Tradeking Promotions page for the latest information.



If you were holding out for that $100 Tradeking Promo, you don’t have to wait any longer it is back. All you need to do is the following:

  • Open a new account using the following link:
  • Fund the account with at least $2500 within 30 days of opening the account
  • Execute three trades within 180 days of account opening

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 $100 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.

ETRADE Promo – Get 60 Days of Free Trades | Bonus Promotion

March 28, 2010


Tired of having those pesky stock trading commissions cut into your investment profits? Then get 60 days of free trading through the latest ETRADE Promotion.

When you open a new Power ETRADE Account and fund it with $2000, you will receive free trading for up to 6o days from the account opening date. The total number of free trades cannot exceed 500 within those 2 months. Accounts must be opened by December 31, 2010.

The clock on the 60 days of free trades starts on the day you open the account so it is best to fund the account immediately during the opening process with a linked checking account.

ETRADE normally charges $9.95 per trade, so if you were to make 500 trades within 60 days you could potentially save $4975! I think all those day traders out there are getting excited about this. See the promotion page for more details.

If up to $5000 in free trades isn’t enough to get you excited, then check out the $100 cash you can get through the latest OptionsXpress Promo

$100 OptionsXpress Promo – 2010 [Promotion Bonus]

November 25, 2009

optionsXpress
There is a new OptionsXpress promo where you can get $100 when opening a new account.

You need to open an account (using the link below) with at least $500 by December 31st 2011 and execute 3 trades within 12 months of the account opening. The $100 bonus will be deposited into the new optionsXpress account within one month after meeting the terms and conditions of this offer

Learn how you can get $100 when you open up a new optionsXpress account.

OptionsXpress is a online brokerage that allows you to trade options, stocks, futures, mutual funds, bonds and more in one account. They have a flat rate of $14.95 / trade for stock, but what is even more enticing is that if you are an options trader they charge $15 or a 10 contract option order. Most brokerages charge a flat commission for options then charge an extract dollar per contract. OptionsXpress has included 10 contracts in that price which helps keep commissions low when trading options.

I have an OptionseXpress account that I use for trading options and really like their service. They have an ACH feture where you can link your checking account to move money in and out of your optionsxpress account. They have a fast trade execution which is always important to me when I am trying to put in orders at or near the current stock price.

Another great feature they offer is a virtual trading account where you can practice with fake money. This is nice if you are new to the market and want to play a bit before investing real money.

They have also rolled out an easy to read options naming, where you can easily distinguish your options holdings from your stock holdings. I have never had to deal with their customer service so I cannot comment, however live chat and calling their 1-800 number for help is always available.

If you are looking for a great brokerage and a quick $100 to help with future commisions, then sign up today:

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.
