Hello together,
I am relatively new to stock trading and haven't executed very much trades so far. I am currently reading up on a lot of different resources about trading in general to broaden my knowledge.
UBS Switzerland (My current bank & broker) charges 40$ for each executed trade, which is A LOT. They don't offer very valuable research options either.
I am interested in trading stocks in a 'swing trading' manner, not day trading, not investing. What I am now looking for is a relatively cheap broker, who fullfills these requirements:
- EDUCATION on equities, stock trading, charts, etc.
- Relatively cheap with a still usable trading platform
- Accepts International Traders (I currently live in Switzerland)
- I can use primarily for Stock Trading
I am registered with Thinkorswim, but haven't transfered any funds yet. I love the software platform, their educational stuff seems to concentrace heavily on options though, and as a newcommer with not a ton of capital to spend, I would like to start with stocks, which I believe also to be a little less risky.
As you can tell, the 'educational' part is a major factor for my decision. There is a lot of information available on the net, and it would be nice to be able to 'read up on one -trusted- place' and be able to try the strategies advised by my broker.
Any input highly appreciated.
