Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Hal ini juga dialami oleh Kartini, sesudah mendapat pendidikan sekolah dasar di ELS (Europese Lagere School), hingga usianya memasuki 12 Tahun, kemudian Kartini mulai berdiam diri di rumah atau memasuki masa dipingit.

Beruntung, selama menjalani pendidikan di ELS (Europese Lagere School), Kartini sempat berguru Bahasa Belanda dan menguasainya, dengan kemampuannya tersebut Kartini tetap berguru dengan membaca buku-buku, Majalah dan Surat Kabar yang masa itu ditulis dalam bahasa Belanda.

Dari banyak sekali gosip yang didapatkannya dari membaca banyak sekali buku, majalah dan surat kabar tersebut, Kartini mulai tertarik dengan kemajuan tumpuan pikir kaum perempuan Eropa dan timbul keinginannya untuk memperjuangkan kemajuan kaum perempuan pribumi (Indonesia) yang ketika itu mempunyai status sosial yang rendah.

Beberapa Buku, majalah dan surat kabar yang dibaca R.A Kartini, adalah:
  • Surat kabar Semarang De Locomotief yang diasuh Pieter Brooshooft

Selain membaca banyak sekali buku, Kartini juga sering menulis surat kepada sahabat surat-menyuratnya, dan salah satu sahabat yang paling mendukung kegiatannya yaitu Rosa Abendanon seorang Wanita yang berasal dari Belanda.

Meski kartini dalam keadaan di pingit dan berdiam diri di dalam rumah, namun ia selalu berguru dan Aktif menulis surat dan terkadang surat-surat yang ia kirim di muat di beberapa surat kabar Belanda, hingga usia Kartini memasuki 24 Tahun.

Kemudian pada Tanggal 12 November 1903, Kartini dijodohkan oleh orang tuanya dengan seorang Pria yang bernama K.R.M. Adipati Ario Singgih Djojo Adhiningrat yang ketika itu menjabat sebagai Bupati Rembang.

Suami Kartini, K.R.M. Adipati Ario Singgih Djojo Adhiningrat ketika itu sangat mengerti dengan cita-cita dan tekat Kartini untuk memajukan pendidikan khususnya bagi kaum Wanita, dan Kartini diberi kebebasan untuk mewujudkan keinginannya tersebut dengan mendirikan Sekolah Wanita, yang didirikan di sebelah timur gerbang Kompleks Kantor Kabupaten Rembang, yang sekarang bangunan tersebut dipakai sebagai Gedung Pramuka.

Anak Kartini: Soesalit Djojoadhiningrat
Dari pernikahannya .K.R.M. Adipati Ario Singgih Djojo Adhiningratdengan, Kartini mempunyai seorang Putra, tepatnya pada tanggal 13 September 1904, dan Putranya diberi nama, Soesalit Djojoadhiningrat.

Kartini Wafat
Soesalit Djojoadhiningrat, satu-satunya anak Kartini yang menjadi putra pertama sekaligus terakhir bagi Kartini, alasannya beberapa hari sesudah melahirkan anak pertamanya itu, Kartini meninggal dunia tepatnya Tanggal 17 September 1904, dan kemudian Kartini dimakamkan di Desa Bulu, Kecamatan Bulu, Kabupaten Rembang, Jawa Tengah.

"Sekolah Kartini"
Namun, meski Kartini telah tiada, Pembangunan "Sekolah Kartini" tetap berlanjut, tak hanya di Rembang, Jawa Tengah, Sekolah Kartini juga dibangun di banyak sekali tempat lainnya, pada tahun 1912 Sekolah Kartini didirikan di Semarang, kemudian dibangun di Surabaya, di Yogyakarta, di Malang, di Madiun, di Cirebon dan tempat lainnya., Sekolah-sekolah ini diberi nama "Sekolah Kartini" dibangun oleh Yayasan Kartini yang didirikan oleh keluarga Van Deventer.

Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang
Surat-surat yang pernah ditulis dan dikirimkan Kartini kepada Teman-temannya di Eropa, dikumpulkan kembali dan dibentuk menjadi sebuah buku oleh Mr. J.H. Abendanon yang ketika itu menjabat sebagai Menteri Kebudayaan, Agama dan Kerajinan Hindia Belanda.

Buku kumpulan surat-surat Kartini tersebut diberi judul "Door Duisternis tot Licht" yang sanggup diartikan dengan "Dari Kegelapan Menuju Cahaya", dan buku tersebut diterbitkan pada tahun 1911.

Kemudian Pada tahun 1922, Buku yang berjudul "Dari Kegelapan Menuju Cahaya" diterjemahkan dan diterbitkan kembali oleh "Balai Pustaka", yang diberi judul "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang:Boeah Pikiran".

"Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terah" Buku Versi Armijn Pane
Selanjutnya pada Tahun 1938, buku tersebut diterbitkan kembali dalam Versi Armijn Pane, dan dibagi menjadi 5 bab, untuk memperlihatkan citra perubahan-perubahan cara berfikir Kartini ketika menulis surat-surat tersebut.

Perubahan tumpuan pikir terhadap kaum wanita
Dari kumpulan Surat-surat yang dikirimkan Kartini kepada teman-teman Eropanya tersebut, menarik perhatian masyarakat Belanda dan kemudian aliran yang dituliskan Kartini mulai mengubah cara pandang masyarakat Belanda terhadap kaum perempuan pribumi Indonesia, khususnya di jawa.

Lagu "Ibu Kita Kartini" ciptaan W.R. Soepratman
Kemudian buku-buku yang diterbitkan dari kumpulan surat-surat kartini tersebut, menawarkan banyak ide pada tokoh-tokoh kebangkitan nasional di Indonesia, salah satunya yaitu Tokoh Nasional W.R.Soepratman, yang kemudian membuat lagu berjudul "Ibu Kita Kartini", untuk mengenang usaha Kartini dan Lagu ini menjadi lagu Nasional yang dikenal oleh seluruh bangsa Indonesia.
