Interactive Brokers is a professional brokerage that has a free tier now and just added fractional shares as well.
Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, TD Ameritrade are all legitimate operations as well, but IB is what professionals use.
- ZeroCool2u 7y agoYes, IB is what I use too. Their paid individual account tier is only $10 a month and provides SDK's with robust support for Python, Java, and C++.
- e-clinton 7y agoDoes their paid tier include free options trading? That’s what’s attractive about Robinhood, but they cost me $7k on Monday so I’m dumping them.
- ZeroCool2u 7y agoOnly US Exchange-Listed Stocks / ETFs are commission free.[1] Honestly though, the commissions are extremely low. Definitely lower than that $7k. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for. [1] https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=45500 https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=45500
- reverend_gonzo 7y agoTheir fees are something like 10 cents if you’re trading an option. Completely irrelevant.
