Hello All,

I am new to trading and wanted to get some advice about best trading platforms and stockbrokers to use?

I am currently paying around $20 commission per trade (buy or sell) which makes short term trading a little difficult. I am sure that this fee structure is fine for long term investments but it feels a little steep to me.

What stockbrokers or platforms would you all recommend? preferably a platform with a stop loss function and automatic sell function....

Thanks any advice or insight is appreciated
