We gave OptionsHouse top position in "Best Discount Stock Broker" ranking and it is
in second place in "Lowest Stock Trading Fees" rating. It is, however, the cheapest brokerage
if you don't meet Zecco's requirements or make more then 20 trades a month.
OptionsHouse offers $2.95 flat-rate stock trading fee and $9.95 flat-rate commission for options.
OptionsHouse has no account balance minimums, no minimum number of trades and no volume requirements
to get these trade commissions.

and named them #1 in "Trade Experience".

SogoTrade offers some of the lowest stock trading fees in the industry
- just $3 per trade for stocks over $1 and $3.00 plus 70¢ per contract for options traders.
It's expensive to trade stocks below $1. SogoTrade.com offers no mutual funds investing.
Their trading platform is slow and limited. There are a lot of complains on very slow new account set up and poor customer service.

Interactive Brokers (IB) is at the fourth place in "Lowest Stock Trading Fees" rating.
We believe it is a good choice for active traders.
IB delivers excellent trading platform and great trading costs for orders under 600 shares.
Interactive Brokers might not be the best choice for beginners. And IB is definitely not the best choice for
those who make few trades or trade orders of over 1,000 shares.
