Tradeking $100 Bonus Promotion

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.

Tradeking Promo – $150 in Transfer Fees Refunded

Update September 2009: This Tradeking Promotion is still active.

There is a new Tradeking Promo that is offering up to $150 to cover the fees of transfering your account from your current broker to try out their service. Follow this link for the promo details: (There is no specific Tradeking Promo Code required if you click through that link) I transferred my account into Tradeking from TD Ameritrade and haven’t looked back since. Unfortunetly they weren’t covering the transfer fees at that time, but it was still worth it to me. Their account transfer process is very simple. All I needed to do was open a new account, complete the transform and fax it in. My account was transfered in less than a week. To get your account transfer fees refunded, faxing a copy of your account statement with proof of the transfer charge to 561.988.0131. The credit will be deposited to your account within 30 days of receipt of evidence of charge. Very easy! From an over all service standpoint, please read see my Tradeking Review. Like I have said in earlier posts I have been very happy with Tradeking and the services they offer. I am in no way a day trader, but for what I need, they can do. They’ve got one of the lowest fee schedules in the business, so if you are itching to get in and buy in a down market, now is the time. And with up to $150 in transfer fees refuneded, this makes it that much easier to switch.

$50 Tradeking Promo Ends Sunday

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

The $50 Tradeking Promo ends Sunday November 30th. Get in this week if you haven’t done so already. Tradeking Promos tend to only appear every so often, so there is no telling when another may happen. Besides if you haven’t started trading is this down market shame on you! Now is the time to get in low and ride the wave up.

Here are the promo details. You will get a $50 bonus credited to your account when you open an account by November 30th by using the following link: , fund it with at least $2500 and make 1 trade. They will deposit the $50 into your account shortly after your first trade is completed.

Tradeking is the only brokerage account I use. Let’s face it, I don’t have a whole lot of money to invest, so you can be pretty sure I am not going to waste in on high commissions like at other online brokerages. Tradeking’s $4.95 commission suits me just fine and there is nothing that I have wanted to buy that I could not do on Tradeking.

One feature that I thought was pretty neat is that when my last company had a stock employee purchase plan my company actually issued me stock certificates. I was like, “What the heck am I supposed to do with these?”. Well after talking with Tradeking they told me that they would take the certificates from me for free. And sure enough after a week, the shares appeared in my online brokerage account for me to sell or do whatever I wanted with them. It is those little customer service things that keep me coming back!!

Tradeking $50 Brokerage Bonus Extended Through November

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

Due to the overwhelming response to Tradeking’s current promotion of a $50 bonus when opening a new account, they have decided to extend the promo through the end of November. This means that when you open an account with $2500 and make your first trade prior to November 31st, Tradeking will deposit a $50 bonus into your account.

It seems that people are starting to realize that now is the time to get back into the market since all the major averages are still down. If you are a casual investor like myself, Tradeking is a great way to invest as their commisions are some of the lowest out there at $4.95 per trade.
