Online Share Trading 2019

If you trade infrequently, you’ll want to make sure your potential earnings aren’t getting eaten up by hefty brokerage fees. Our experts found the best value options for traders who don’t make many trades per month, or deal mostly in smaller amounts.

This category awards the best options for those who trade regularly, but not so much that they’d consider themselves professionals. Our panel of experts considered both the brokerage costs and the functionality available; such as live price data, market depth data, independent broker reports and SMS alerts.

If you’re the type that lives and breathes shares, you’ll want a feature-rich platform that lets you stay on top of the market and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. So, when picking the winner in the Active Trader category, our experts put more stock in the range of features on offer than brokerage fees alone. Along with the functionality considered in the Active Trader category, platforms had to offer webIRESS, the ability to trade options, warrants, ETFs, and access to international markets.

Anyone who’s serious about share trading needs a quality app to make sure they’re always on top of the market. When considering which apps were deserving of our Exceptional Share Trading App award, our experts looked at order management, watchlists, alerts, charting tools, frequency of updates to market data, research tools, and more.

Did you compare all online share trading platforms in the market for these awards?
