ChoiceTrade Roth IRA Review
ChoiceTrade brokerage was awarded 4-stars (highest rating is 4.5 stars) by Barron's magazine for 5 years in a row.
In 2009 it got top scores in Trade Experience, Trading Technology, Usability and Research Amenities. ChoiceTrade
offers some of the cheapest commissions in the industry. You have two plans to choose from: Flat Rate and
Direct Access. With Flat Rate you get $5.00 per trade, unlimited shares and no surcharges for extended hours,
penny stocks or large orders. With Direct Access you pay just $0.005 per share with $1 minimum per trade. It means
that any order with up to 200 shares will cost you just $1, order with 200-500 shares will be anywhere between $1.00
and $2.50, etc.
We believe that ChoiceTrade is a great choice for Roth retirement account since it has no IRA setup fee, no annual
IRA fee and no inactivity or maintenance fees.
You could open account with
ChoiceTrade
with no money down in just
a few minutes and try their virtual trading and other services for free.
