IMHO, so far i heard Interbank offering low commission fees but need at least USD10K to open account with them.
For optionsXpress, its reliable broker and there is no minimum amount to open account with them but the fees are quite high.
For small traders like me, i open account with OptionsXpress biggrin.gif

I m small trader also. Is it justify to use optionsXpress ?

Or try use OptionsXpress demo trading to get familiar with their trading tools.

I'm also trying to bank in $ to them. Maybe we need to e-mail them this slip together with our account number.

Should it be like this?

When the institutional traders return next week from holidays, they'll look at all the bad news and will probably start off the sell off.  biggrin.gif

The sogotrade is so much cheaper. Don't no why others so expensive. hmm.gif

I m using optionsxpress. Not cheap also. sad.gif Here is the all the fee till trading.

Local bank TT to US bank (optionxpress acc) ---> Local bank fee rm10. US bank fee US23
Trading stock --> 9+ no.Shasre Trades/Quarter1 $9.95(up to 1000) $0.01 / share(1001+)
0-8 no.Shasre Trades/Quarter $14.95(up to 1000) $0.015 / share (1001+)

For selling, maybe same kua? Haven't try out yet.

Withdrawal --> ACH (free)
Cheque (US15)
TT (Don't no yet. Can't find the fee)

if you have not deposit any money. why not try open acc with sogo & see if you like it or not.

Actually Interactive broker is cheaper but you need to have min deposit of $10k.

Already make a deposit last week and traded liao. sad.gif Security is my main consent, so I choose optionxpress since many member here have experience with it.
